Conventional mineral based fluids are being widely used as coolants and lubricants in
machining operations throughout the world. However, these cutting fluids are the viable …

The deleterious innate attribute of Ti6Al4V, the workhorse material among the alloy series of
titanium is its incompetent tribo-behavior. Infinite surface modification techniques, viz., the …

In this study, machinability tests were carried out on a corrosion-resistant superalloy
subjected to shallow (SCT) and deep cryogenic treatment (DCT) via electrical discharge …

Microstructure, hardness and wear behavior of AISI D2 steel subjected to varied sub-zero
treatments have been examined with reference to conventional heat treatment. Part I of this …

This paper focuses on the effects of low temperature (subzero) treatments on microstructure
and mechanical properties of H13 hot work tool steel. Cryogenic treatment at− 72° C and …

The use of cryogenic treatment (CT) to improve mechanical properties of materials has been
developed from the end of the Sixties. At the present time, the initial mistrust about CT has …

Studies on cryogenically treated high speed steel tools show microstructural changes in the
material that can influence tool lives and productivity significantly. Results in the literature …

The influence of deep cryogenic treatment on wear resistance and tool life of M2 HSS drills
in high-speed dry drilling configuration of carbon steels was studied. The experimental …

Cryogenic treatment (CT) of materials has shown significant improvement in their properties.
