“…ice particles substitute the abrasive particles to perform machining. 56,57 This ensures lower cost, contamination-free machining, waste reduction, and operator's safety. The melting and flowing out of the ice particles from the surfaces of the parts being machined are beneficial for the application fields such as food, electronic, bio-medical, and optical and space industries where strictly no contamination is required.…”

Nonconventional or advanced machining processes such as electric discharge machining, electrochemical machining, abrasive water jet machining, and laser beam machining have been widely used as a viable alternate to the conventional processes to manufacture high-quality engineered parts having certain typical features. In spite of their special features, wider acceptance, and use, they suffer from certain inherent limitations with regard to sustainability such as high consumption of energy and resources; generation of toxic liquid, gases, and solid wastes; risk for health and safety; air pollution; generation of waste and its disposal problems; and workpiece contamination and thermal damage to the parts being produced. It is found that these factors all adversely affect the environment to a certain extent. Innovative sustainable techniques such as dry, near-dry, and green electric discharge machining; green and hybrid electrochemical machining; ice-jet machining; and eco- and underwater laser beam machining, etc. have been developed to address sustainability challenges and greatly benefited with improvements in quality, productivity, and sustainability. This review article first introduces four major nonconventional machining processes, discusses their inherent sustainability issues and challenges, and presents state-of-the-art review of the work conducted using sustainable innovative techniques and strategies with an aim to encourage academics, researchers, and engineers for research and developments in order to establish the field further. The literature review offered in this article is based on over 80 articles published from 1975 to 2017. Finally, the article ends up with concluding remarks and recommending possible avenues to stimulate future research.

“…Cryogenic coolants such as carbon-dioxide(CO 2 )-snow or liquid nitrogen (LN 2 ), delivered at temperatures far below zero degree Celsius, offer the possibility to cool down the surface layer significantly. Cryogenic cooling is commonly applied to improve surface integrity [3] and quality [4], to remove burrs after machining [5], to reduce burr formation during the process [6] or to increase tool life and performance in machining materials like CGI [7] or other difficult-to-machine materials [8].…”

Metastable austenitic steels offer the opportunity of a surface hardening during machining due to a deformation induced martensite formation, substituting downstream hardening-processes. To maintain the necessary low process and workpiece temperatures for a phase transformation from austenite to martensite, cryogenic cooling using CO2-snow was examined in this study. The influence of workpiece diameter, coolant flow rate as well as pre-cooling and pre-surface hardening on the obtainable phase content of martensite in the surface layer was investigated.

During the last few years, different research groups have been developing systems for the transition of abrasive water jet into ice abrasive water jet. The aim of this new technology is to make the technology cleaner from both practical and ecological points of view. Mineral abrasive is replaced with ice grains that melt away after the machining process, leaving the workpiece uncontaminated. Several different approaches to this technology were studied. Thermal aspects of integrating the ice abrasive water jet technology into commercially available machines were considered. The results and analyses of water temperature measurements on the ice abrasive water jet machine are presented in this article.
