In recent years cryogenic technologies have established themselves in cutting processes, as they have shown to be more efficient than convetional methods in some cases, but these technologies are still fairly unresearched. This work reviews scientific literature of cryogenic turning with the use of liquid carbon dioxide, with the purpose of giving a comprehensive display of the reviewed field. The literature review shows, that the trend of scientific research in this field is increasing and that steel is the most commonly researched material group currently. This work also reviews the cooling and lubrication effect of carbon dioxide. The review shows, that carbon dioxide does indeed have a cooling effect, while the effect is larger than that of most conventional methods, it is dependant on the process parameters. Carbon dioxide does not show any sign of having a lubrication effect.
