& Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) machining involves the application of a minute amount of an oil-based lubricant to the machining process in an attempt to replace the conventional flood coolant system. Understanding the correlations between fluid properties and MQL performance can help in selecting lubricants from a variety of choices without going through extensive machining tests. This st...

The lubrication capacity and penetration ability of the minimum quantity cooling lubrication-based strategy is linked with specific parameters (oil flow rates air pressure), cutting conditions, chip formation. It points out complex selection involved in MQCL-assisted to attain optimal machining performance. Lubrication during metal operations a phenomenon, as it strong function conditions. In a...

SKD 11 tool steel is among the most popular metals in mold industries for making different kinds of cold work molds and dies with high accuracy and long service life. The demand for higher quality, lower manufacturing costs, particularly the environmentally friendly characteristics, have provided the stimuli for manufacturers and researchers to find alternative solutions. An excellent media is ...

Abstract Graphene has superhigh thermal conductivity up to 5000 W/(m·K), extremely thin thickness, mechanical strength and nano-lamellar structure with low interlayer shear strength, making it possess great potential in minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) grinding. Meanwhile, ionic liquids (ILs) have higher better stability than vegetable oils, which are frequently used as MQL grinding fluids. A...

Abstract Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is a relatively efficient and clean alternative to flooding workpiece machining. Electrostatic atomization has the merits of small droplet diameter, high uniformity size, strong coating, hence its superiority pneumatic atomization. However, as current research hotspot, influence jet parameters electrical on average diameter droplets not clear. First, ...
