A better understanding of material deformation behaviours with changes in size is crucial to
the design and operation of metal microforming processes. In order to facilitate the …

Silver matrix composites are known for their low friction coefficient and high wear resistance,
making them promising for various practical applications. In this study, we investigate the …

To comprehend the role of water-based nanolubricant in micro flexible rolling,
corresponding characterisation with respect to different concentrations of nanolubricants …

Deep-drawing is a method in which flat sheets of metal are formed into complex 3-
dimensional geometries. Three main types of challenges arise when transitioning from the …

Surface asperities take a large part of a thin blank in micro-sheet forming processes. Contact
and friction significantly affect micro-sheet forming and cannot be simplified as …

Abstract Ti-13Nb-13Zr is a promising titanium-based alloy for bioimplant applications due to
its low Young's modulus (80 GPa). However, it undergoes mechanical and mechano …

In this work, the cylindrical upsetting experiments of pure copper under meso and micro
scale were carried out, and the effects of specimen size, grain size, and tool surface …

In this paper, the tribological behavior and its size effects in micro–hydromechanical deep
drawing (MHDD) are theoretically and experimentally investigated. It is found that a required …

To achieve a stable and high wear resistive functional surface under dry sliding friction, the
present study proposes micro-textured diamond-like carbon coatings fabricated by ionized …

In micro scale metal forming processes, the plastic deformation behaviors are complicated
and difficult to predict because of size effects. In this study, micro cylinder compression tests …
