Machining processes strongly affect the surface characteristics of the final product, consequently influencing the performance under service of the machined component. The paper presents an assessment of different machining cooling techniques to improve the surface integrity of the machined component and its final fatigue life. High cycle fatigue life is analytically evaluated; the machining processes are simulated by FEM and experimentally validated. Sustainability considerations are then discussed highlighting the potential of cryogenic machining to successfully replace conventional lubricant - assisted processes.
