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.

The 5ME cryogenic machining technology transmits liquid nitrogen through a spindle/turret and directly to the cutting edge, at -321°F. Cryogenic machining is not a new concept, but it continues to ...

Coolants have traditionally been used to reduce the heat generated during the machining process--the primary failure mode for cutting tools. However, coolants have several drawbacks, including mist ...

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 ...

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, ...

• 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 ...

At ILA 2026, Fraunhofer IFAM presents “HYTANK” project results on the efficient production of lightweight hydrogen tanks for zero-emission aviation Researchers from Plasma Technology and Surfaces, ...
