The severe work hardening phenomenon generated in the machining of Inconel 718 is harmful to continue cutting processes, while being good for the component's service performance. This paper investigates the performance of cryogenic assisted machining used in the cutting processes, which can reduce the waste of fluids. The influence of dry and cryogenic machining conditions with different cutting speeds on the work hardening layer is investigated based on the interrupted cutting of Inconel 718. Cutting temperature distribution obtained from simulations under different conditions is used to discuss the potential mechanism of work hardening. Then, the depth of work hardening and degree of work hardening (DWH) are investigated to analyze the surface deformation behavior, which strengthens the machined surface during metal cutting processes. From the cutting experiments, the depth of the work hardening layer can reach more than 60 μm under the given cutting conditions. In addition, a deeper zone can be obtained by the cooling of liquid nitrogen, which may potentially enhance the wear performance of the component. The results obtained from this work can be utilized to effectively control the work hardening layer beneath the surface, which can be applied to improve the service performance.
