The reduction in machining temperature changes the mechanical properties of the material, thereby affecting the fracture mode and failure speed. This paper focused on YG8/YG20 tungsten steel, analyzed its failure process at low temperatures, established a mathematical model for cutting speed, elucidated the effect of initial temperature on cutting speed, and conducted LN 2 -ASJ cutting experiments. The results showed that ductile fracture always occurs at the initial kerf. As the kerf depth increases, tungsten steel may begin to undergo brittle fracture, with the occurrence coordinates of brittle fracture depending on the initial temperature. The cutting speed in the brittle fracture area (18.88-21.21mm/s) is approximately 8 times that in the ductile fracture area (2.39-3.87mm/s), with the optimal cutting performance achieved when the initial temperature is controlled at -80°C. Compared to room temperature, LN 2 -ASJ increased the average cutting speed of YG8 by 32% (from 3.71mm/s to 4.90mm/s) and that of YG20 by 37% (from 3.95mm/s to 5.43mm/s). abrasive suspension jet liquid nitrogen cutting speed tungsten steel Full Text Cite Share Download PDF Status: Published Journal Publication published 19 Feb, 2025 Read the published version in The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology → Version 1 posted Editorial decision: Major Revisions Needed 26 Aug, 2024 Reviewers agreed at journal 24 Apr, 2024 Reviewers invited by journal 03 Apr, 2024 Editor assigned by journal 03 Apr, 2024 First submitted to journal 01 Apr, 2024 You are reading this latest preprint version Research Square lets you share your work early, gain feedback from the community, and start making changes to your manuscript prior to peer review in a journal.
