Metal working fluids: finding green in the manufacturing process

Matthew Siniawski, Chris Bowman

The purpose of this paper is to provide a practical review of metal working fluids and their implications to the machining practice. Despite their widespread use and applications…

Design of artificial neural networks for slipper analysis of axial piston pumps

Fazil Canbulut, Erdem Koç, Cem Sinanoğlu

The purpose of this paper is to experimentally and theoretically investigate slippers, which have an important role on power dissipation in the swash plate axial piston pumps.

Wear behavior of as‐cast and heat treated triple particle size SiC reinforced aluminum metal matrix composites

Abdul Maleque, Rezaul Karim

The purpose of this paper is to study the wear behavior of as‐cast (AC) and heat treated (HT) triple particle size (TPS) silicon carbide (SiC) reinforced aluminum alloy‐based…

Tribological behaviour when face milling AISI 4140 steel with minimum quantity fluid application

Wisley Sales, Marcelo Becker, Clovis S. Barcellos, Jánes Landre, John Bonney, Emmanuel O. Ezugwu
