Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) technologies possess great potential for improving the sustainability of manufacturing processes, which can reduce the absolute quantity of metalworking fluid (MWF) and also enable near-dry chips that are easier to...
The objective of this study is to clarify the influence of MQL lubricant-delivery directionality on the thermo-mechanical response of Inconel 718 milling by systematically comparing unidirectional and multidirectional lubricant supply configurations...
This paper describes the research on abrasive machining conditions and their influence on microhardness and residual stresses distribution in the technological surface layer of 20MnCr5 steel. The roughness of ground samples was also measured. Samples...
Drilling work on Inconel, a well-known super-heat-resistant alloy, requires a significant quantity of cutting oil to prevent heat-induced abrasion and damage to the cutting tool, caused by the strength and toughness of the alloy. This high requiremen...
In recent years, hard turning has emerged as a burgeoning cutting technology for producing high-quality finishing of cylindrical-shaped hardened steel for a variety of industrial applications. Hard turning under dry cutting was not accepted because o...
This paper describes simulation studies regarding the application of the centrifugal minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) method simultaneously with the delivery of a compressed cooled air (CCA) stream in the internal cylindrical grinding process. The...
Nitrosamines (NAs) are toxic compounds associated with disinfection processes. Human exposure can occur through the hydraulic hoses and seals that are in contact with drinking water. This study develops and validates a chromatographic method to quant...
Accurate day-ahead load forecasting at the provincial scale is a basic input to unit commitment, reserve scheduling and market settlement, but the forecast has to capture periodic load behaviour, spatially distributed weather sensitivity and historic...
