Design of CO2-Based Cooling System for Machining of Ti-6Al-4V Using Joule–Thomson Effect

What is it about?

A CO2 based cooling system is developed for removing heat while machining of titanium alloy and the cooling effect is generated using joule Thomson effect. FE modeling CFD analysis is done for predicting the maximum average cutting temperature and supply conditions of coolant and validated by using analytical modeling. Further experimentation is performed and it is observed that there is an improvement in the machinability in terms of cutting temperature, surface roughness, and tool wear compared to the dry cutting of titanium alloys.
