Effects Of Cryogenic On Tool Steels-A Review
Abstract
This paper studies the effect of cryogenic treatment on tool steels, many researchers shows their findings and
optimized parameters affecting the properties of various tools steels under different machining process. Cryoprocessing is a
supplementary process to conventional heat treatment, since it converts the retained austenite into martensite which is remain
after heat treatment and due to martensite formation there is an increase in wear resistance, hardness, dimensional stability,
and reduces tool consumption and hence extending intervals between replacements of tools which reduces the down time for
the machine tool set up thus leading to cost reductions, which is an important consideration in industry. The effectiveness of
these properties is improving by use of modern technology such as microprocessor, microcontroller to control temperature
profile which avoids thermal shocks created. Some researcher developed their own system to control the drawback of
cryogenic treatment such as developments of cutting forces are reduce by use of secondary liquid nitrogen supply. Various
methods are incorporated to maintain low temperature such as use of liquid nitrogen, dry ice, adding nano particles to
conventional cutting fluid.
