  Enhancing Cooling Efficiency in Dual Nozzle CO2-Based Vortex Tube Systems for Machining Titanium Alloys: Implications for Polymer and Composite Processing

  By Banoth Srinu, P. Sai Kiran, Khirod Mahapatro, P. Vamsi Krishna

  Abstract: In machining of Titanium alloys, the cutting temperature plays a vital role that directly influences the performance and it is required to maintain as low as possible. In this study, a dual nozzle Vortex Tube Cooling System (VTCS) that supplies cool compressed CO2 gas is developed to reduce the cutting temperature in Ti-6Al-4V machining. The experiments were conducted at constant cutting and flow parameters during turning at different levels of …
