Abstract: A new compression-twist type friction testing machine has been developed to simulate the frictional conditions prevailing in metal forming. Twin indenter tools with different sliding length were ...

Abstract: A new rolling-type tribometer has been devised to investigate the effects on friction behavior of the average velocity of the lubricant at the inlet to the contact zone and the relative sliding ...

Abstract: A series of experiments was carried out using a rolling-type tribometer to investigate the frictional dependence on the average velocity of the lubricant V at the contact zone inlet and the ...

Abstract: The rapid emergence of miniaturized products today is demanding the production of components and assemblies in the submillimeter to a few-millimeter (i.e., micro/meso-scale) range with manufactured ...

Abstract: Microforming is a relatively new realm of manufacturing technology that addresses the issues involved in the fabrication of metallic microparts, i.e., metallic parts that have at least two ...
