Machining difficult-to-machine materials such as alloys used in aerospace, nuclear and
medical industries are usually accompanied with low productivity, poor surface quality and …

Microfluidics is an evolving scientific field with immense commercial potential: analytical
applications, such as biochemical assay development, biochemical analysis and biosensors …

Cryogenically assisted manufacturing processes are emerging as environmentally-benign,
toxic-free, hazardless operations, producing functionally superior products. This paper …

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are prone to damage locally during machining due
to the applied cutting forced and generated heat. Cryogenic machining can reduce the heat …

This article is a state-of-the-art review of the use of cryogenic cooling using liquefied gases
in machining. The review is classified into two major categories, namely cryogenic …

The fabrication of microfluidic channels with complex three-dimensional (3D) geometries
presents a major challenge to the field of microfluidics, because conventional lithography …

Abstract The Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM) of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is very slow or
even impossible at room temperature due to its ability to absorb the energy of the impacting …

In the last many decades, the usage of cutting fluid is a common technique for improving the
machinability of metals. The application of cutting fluid during the machining phase …

Magnesium alloys tend to have inflammable nature and chip self-ignition at high cutting
speeds under dry machining condition, although they can be easily machined with good …

Machining processes aided by cryogenics, and therefore known as cryogenic-assisted
machining, are one of the emerging sustainable means of machining superior quality …
