Ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as potential lubricants in 2001. Subsequently, there has
been tremendous research interest in ILs from the tribology society since their discovery as …

Boron compounds are widely used in a range of tribological applications such as friction
modifiers, antioxidants, antiwear additives, and in many cases as environmentally friendly …

Thermo-mechanical loads are the main factor that influences the tool wear and product
surfaces during machining processes. Lubrication in metal cutting is an effective medium to …

The use of ionic liquids as additives to base oil for the lubrication of steel on aluminum was
investigated. The miscibility and wear performance of various phosphonium, imidazolium …

Interest in the tribological performance of ionic liquids (ILs) has increased significantly since
they were first introduced as lubricants in 2001. The primary advantages of ILs over …

The objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of ionic liquid (IL), a low melting
point salt, as a lubricant additive for minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) implementation …
