... performance of various carbon nanoparticles in water-based lubricants for titanium alloys. Design/methodology/approach The lubricating and antiwear properties of the developed cutting fluid were tested by a tribo-tester. The lubricant performance was evaluated through friction coefficient, wear volume...

... to our previous study. It is significant to develop higher effective water-based lubricant additives to meet the deeper drilling challenges. Microcapsulation of additives is one of the useful methods to isolate additives from the external environment and keep its property stable (Wang et al...

...Dezun Sheng; Tao Ni; Ming Zou; Huichen Zhang Purpose This paper aims to investigate the effect of laser surface texturing on the tribological performance of Ti-6Al-4V disks sliding against Si3N4 balls under hydroxyethyl-cellulose water-based lubrication. The friction coefficients and wear losses...
