CIC marGUNE, the Cooperative Research Centre for High-Performance Manufacture, is coordinating a line of research on cryogenic machining for developing the safety of parts for the aeronautic sector.

Liquid nitrogen is transmitted through the spindle/turret and tool body to the cutting edge to cool the surface, thereby allowing higher speeds/feeds. Shops that have already adopted cryogenic ...

Lockheed adopted 5ME’s cryogenic machining system with an Okuma horizontal center, increasing cutting speeds by 52% with improved surface integrity and part quality, with an estimated 30% cost ...

Fashioning a custom, one-off rubber part for your project isn’t usually an option, but [Ben Krasnow] has an alternative to injection molding and casting: machining frozen rubber. As [Ben] points out, ...

Cryogenic treatments of tool materials, metals, and alloys have been applied to various industries to improve wear resistance of the materials since the mid-1960s. The cryogenic treatment subjects the ...

• Soaking parts at -300°F or less relieves internal stresses by "squeezing" crystal lattices. • Metal and semicrystalline polymer parts exhibit better dimensional stability and wear resistance after ...

The machining process covers many material removal procedures; among them, grinding is one of the most important. Improved grinding is crucial to improve the overall machining process; hence, many ...

New all-stainless-steel cryogenic solenoid valves come in two configurations — SV91 Series, and SV95 and SV97 Series — in normally open and normally closed models. Fluid temperature range is 450 to ...
