Improving Production
Cryogenic machining as sustainable
alternative to conventional machining
CLEAN MACHINING PROCESS

Sustainable machining method (cleaner,
safer, environment friendly, and more
health acceptable technology).

Increase tool-life (up to 100%) due to
lower abrasion and chemical wear.

Increase cutting speeds and material
removal rates and reduce overall cycle
time – productivity improvement (up to
100%).

Capable of machining of hard parts and
hard to machine alloys (Inconel, titanium,
etc.).

Improved machined part surface
quality/integrity with the absence of
mechanical and chemical degradation of
the machined surface.

Lower cutting temperatures in the cutting
zone.

Improvement of chip breakability, etc.
INNOVATIVE MACHINING
Cryogenic machining presents an innovative method
of delivering the cryogenic cooling media to the
cutting region of the tool, which experiences the
highest temperature during the machining process,
or to the workpiece to change the material
characteristics and improve machining performance.

– Cryogenic fluid: Liquid nitrogen that is liquefied by
cooling to -196°C.
– N2 is safe, noncombustible, noncorrosive,
colorless, odorless and tasteless gas.
– “inert” gas – nonreactive nature with many
materials.
– Leaving no residuals on workpiece, machine-tool,
etc. due to immediate evaporation when
delivered.
