The use of cutting fluids is fundamental to machining processes, mainly when it comes to high heat generation, which is the case of grinding. Thus, lubrication and cooling provided by cutting fluids improve the final quality ...

The application of minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) to metal machining has emerged as an alternative means to reduce cutting fluid usage, leading to cleaner production. In grinding, although MQL is considered to be ...

The current work presents a study of alternative methods of cooling-lubrication for the external plunge grinding of advanced ceramics using diamond wheels. These two alternative methods, which are intended to reduce cutting ...

Hydroelectric power plants using high volume of lubricants for operation of your machinery, lubricants can impact on the process of generating energy with the generation of fault events due degradation of their physical ...

Purpose: The paper aims to investigate the possibilities to control friction in lubricated systems by surface patterning, making use of a multi-scale approach. Surface patterns inside the tribological contact zone tend to ...
