Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) machining process has been widely applied to replace the traditional lubrication and cooling method that brings various drawbacks involving environment, human's health manufacturing cost. Although amount of oil being used in MQL is extremely little, mist formed cutting zone still can successfully prolong tool life improve surface quality workpiece. However, si...

Burnishing is a chip-less finishing process, in which a hard roller or ball presses the surface layer of part to perform plastic deformation in the surface layer and produce improved finish, enhanced hardness and compressive residual stresses on the surface of special materials such as Aluminum and Brass. In the following research, the effect of input parameters such as feed rate, cutting speed...

316L stainless steel has emerged as one of the most used material in design and manufacturing for automotive, aerospace, marine, civil nuclear to produce critical components (valves, seats, pipes etc.). Despite, their huge application, during machining numerous challenges arise terms tool wear that are very detrimental surface machined part. To obtain an extended life commonly two different met...

Different lubrication methods such as oil dip or injection are used in gearboxes to lubricate tribological contacts and dissipate frictional heat. To improve resource energy efficiency, novel needs-based like the drop-on-demand being developed. It includes an ink-jet nozzle driven by a piezo element generate picoliter droplets injected contacts. This study evaluates feasibility of gears. Fricti...
