CO₂: Clean for Cooling and Cool for Cleaning
Oct 16, 2015
Clean for Cooling Liquid coolants have many benefits in machining, but they fall short when a work piece must remain dry. Machinists have tried to get around this problem by using cold air guns, but this dry method doesn’t lower temperatures q...
