The environmental obligations on manufacturing industry have resulted in development of
new methodologies regarding use of lubricants during machining. There has been a …

Tool face friction adversely affects chip formation and consumes about 25% of the total
cutting energy. Friction in cutting can be controlled by introducing a lubricant into the tool …

This paper presents an experimental study of the performance of micropool lubricated
cutting tool in machining mild steel. Microholes are made using femtosecond laser on the …

The present study concerns a detailed understanding of wear, corrosion and bio-activity
behaviors of laser surface textured titanium alloy (Ti–6Al–4V) with line and dimple geometry …

Two kinds of grooved textures with different spacing were fabricated on Al 2 O 3/TiC ceramic
surface by an Nd: YAG laser. The dry tribological properties of the textured samples were …

Lubricated tribological properties of stainless steel were investigated by femtosecond laser
surface texturing. Regular-arranged micro-grooved textures with different spacing and micro …

Friction at the tool-chip interface may be reduced by introducing a lubricant into the tool-chip
interface; the effectiveness of which can be enhanced by surface texturing the tool. Micro …

A novel technique has been developed to manufacture well-defined micro-scale embossing
tools, intended for tribological texturing of metallic surfaces. The tools are formed by growing …

Femtosecond laser ablation of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and aluminum nitride (AlN) ceramics
was performed under normal atmospheric conditions (λ= 785nm, τp= 185fs, repetition rate …

The development of a novel cutting tool that had a micro-hole pattern on their rake and flank
face of cutting tool surface has found wider potential in the field of manufacturing. Micro-hole …
