Abstract: This paper presents a physicsbased analysis to quantitatively describe the effects of grain size, grain boundaries, and crystallographic orientation on the flow stress of the polycrystalline material and thereby on the ...

Abstract: This paper studies the effects of crystallography on the microscale machining characteristics of polycrystalline brittle materials on a quantitative basis. It is believed that during micromachining of brittle materials, ...

Abstract: Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is a promising alternative to conventional flood cooling to substantially reduce lubricant cost and converse energy. Literature survey shows lack of investigation on the influence of MQL ...
