Microtextured tools with cooling technology: a concise review

The cutting process of difficult materials to machine has a common problem that affects tool life and workpiece quality, which is the high temperature in the cutting zone; that is why cooling technology plays a large role in the manufacturing industry. The combination of cooling techniques with microtextured tools can be one of the best solutions for this problem due to the synergistic effect; as the microtexture provides pathways for the coolant to proceed into the tool surface to the cutting zone, the cooling approach is enhanced, which results in a reduction in friction and heat. This paper comprehensively summarizes and simplifies the most recent research on microtextured tools with cooling technology and the coupling effect of microtextured tools with cooling techniques on heat and friction reduction in the cutting zone.
