Based on the necessity of a solid study on the orientation of liquid nitrogen jets in turning, this study investigates the specific cutting energy, surface roughness, chip morphology, chip-tool interface temperature, tool life, and wear of coated carbide tool under the single and duplex jets liquid nitrogen for congenial turning of a hard-to-cut superalloy (Ti-6Al-4V). The single jet was aimed at rake face, whereas the duplex jets were impinged at rake and flank surfaces, simultaneously. Results showed that the later coolant employment method ensured the most favorable machining characteristics, which can be accredited to the extreme cooling by liquid nitrogen jets, in terms of reduced specific cutting energy, temperature, roughness, and admittedly, an increased life of tools. The duplex liquid nitrogen jets prolonged tool life by 60% and 30% compared to dry and single jet assistance, respectively. However, no visible difference in chip formation has been noticed. In recapitulation, the duplex liquid nitrogen jets are established as sustainability promoter as-tool life is increased thus tool cost is reduced, required energy is lessened, temperature is pacified, surface quality is improved, and above all, favorable machinability of Ti-6Al-4V superalloy is attained.
