Surfactants play a variety of critical roles in tribology. In addition to controlling friction and
wear, they also allow for control of a wide range of properties of lubricants, such as …

A simple batch vacuum evaporation process for the treatment of several oil-in-water (O/W)
emulsions is reported. The experiments were carried out with waste emulsions from an …

Predictions of the real contact area in metal forming processes are essential for the
calculation of friction and, consequently, the optimisation of energy consumption and quality …

A limiting aspect of aluminum hot forming process is the interaction between the hot tool and
aluminum workpiece surfaces, which causes adhesion and accumulation of aluminum on …

The poor dispersion stability issue of 2D nanomaterials in lubricants has always constrained
their practical applications. Due to having the adjustable hydrophilicity and lipophilicity on …

The introduction of additives enhances the friction and wear reduction properties of cutting
fluids (CFs) as well as aids in improving the surface quality of the machined parts. This study …

The article analyzes the behavior of the cooling lubricant emulsions of oil-in-water type in a
limited volume of narrow gaps. Vapor phase which has been generated by heating the …

Vacuum evaporation of surfactant solutions and oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions at laboratory-
scale set-up was investigated. Experiments were performed with surfactant solutions and …

The lubrication performance of liquids is severely restricted and is degraded in high-
temperature environments. Stable and reliable lubrication in high temperature environments …

Warm forming is widely used to enhance the formability of aluminum alloy sheets. In warm
deep drawing, the process variables significantly affect frictional characteristics at the tool …
