Abstract
It is possible to use coolant and/or lubricant in gas form instead of solid or liquid form. Cooling action in gas-cooled machining is mainly through convection. The heat transfer by the gas jet can be controlled by controlling the jet velocity. Gases also provide inert atmosphere and lubrication. There is no coolant disposal problem in gas-cooled machining as the gases get merged into the atmosphere. These gases are already present in the atmosphere and are harmless. In this chapter, typical gas-cooling systems are described.
