  1. (uncountable) The process or technique of simultaneously lubricating and cooling machinery, tools, or workpieces.
    • First, in flood cooling, coolant pump consumes an extra 150 watts' power, and another reason is associated with the low coefficient of friction provided by the efficient lubro-cooling effect of LN₂. 2019, A. M. Khan et al, “An Experimental Investigation on Cryo-LN2 Turning of Hardened Steel”, in Advances in Manufacturing Technology XXXIII: Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Manufacturing Research, incorporating the 34th National Conference on Manufacturing Research, 10-12 September 2019, Queen's University, Belfast, page 362:
    • Cryogenic machining is a machining technique in which the usual flood lubro-cooling liquite (an oil-in-water emulsion) is substituted by a jet of liquid nitrogen (LN2) or pre-compressed carbon dioxide (CO₂). 2022, Fouad Sabry, Cryogenic Treatment: Warfighter Lethality, Are your military metals at risk? (Emerging Technologies in Materials Science; Volume 5), One Billion Knowledgeable, page ??:
    • They have also found that the hybridization of CO2 þ MQL produced a better surface finish irrespective of turning passes than other various lubro-cooling approaches. 2022, Dhananchezian, M., “A review on performance evaluation of liquid nitrogen as coolant in turning Ti-6Al-4V alloy.”, in Machining Science & Technology., volume 26, number 5, page 744:
