Based on analyzing the variation laws of the milling forces under cryogenic cooling, the present investigation concerns the surface integrity (surface roughness, micro-hardness, microstructures, and residual stresses) in cryogenic milling of Ti-6Al-4 V alloy under the application of liquid nitrogen (LN 2) as a cooling mode. Findings have ...

Several cooling techniques take advantage of LIN's refrigeration capabilities in batch or continuous processes. 1. direct surface (semi-indirect) cooling (Figure 1a). LIN provides cooling via a single conductive wall, the cold surface of which freezes or cools liquid or gas streams. 2. secondary circuit (indirect)cooling (Figure 1b). T…See more on aiche
