Abstract

Cryogenic machining offers advantages compared to conventional cooling lubrication strategies particularly for difficult-to-cut and high-temperature-resistant materials such as titanium and nickel alloys. For implementation purposes environmental and cost factors are crucial for this new machining approach in series production. In order to facilitate investments it is mandatory to evaluate the technology’s potential prior to the final implementation decision. In the field of machining, in particular machining with cryogenic process cooling, there is no standardized and uniform procedure to assess this potential. In this paper a systematic approach and underlying analysis tool will be introduced to determine the potential of cryogenic processing in terms of resources and energy efficiency of the manufacturing operation. This approach satisfies the general conditions in a reasonable assessment effort as well as in the detail level. With this analysis tool, real production and process data are compared with results from scientific cryogenic tests and research and examined with regards to their applicability. Thus, it is possible in an early stage of the production to identify potentials in manufacturing and to take measures to realize these effects. In case cryogenic processing of a specific material has not been carried out so far, the similarity of this material to existing research results is determined. If positively assessed, the surrogates’ potential is transferred with a specific safety factor to the material. The analysis tool has been applied and refined in a real large-scale series production as well as in a complex component manufacturing and the holistic potential for e. g. durability, material removal rate (MRR) or savings regarding the use of metal working fluids (MWF) have been identified.
