DRY MACHINING USING VORTEX-TUBE GENERATED COLD AIR AS COOLANT: A LITERATURE REVIEW

摘要

This paper reviews the literature on dry machining with VT cooling (using vortex-tube generated cold air as coolant). It presents reported experimental results on effects of VT cooling on cutting force, cutting temperature, tool wear, surface roughness, and residual stress. It also points out areas where VT cooling applications have not been reported and potential directions for future research.
