surface damage, or cracks. The solution is ultrasonic vibrations—these reduce friction significantly within the material and in contact with the tools. In the VibroDraw process, Fraunhofer IWU ...

Cutting tools are designed to handle a lot, but heat can quickly become their worst enemy. When too much heat builds up, it can damage both the tool and the material being worked on. Knowing the early ...

Cutting fluids, commonly known as coolants or lubricants, play a vital role in metalworking processes, such as milling, ...

The main factors that contribute to the determination of friction between a tip and a surface (as discussed at the conference by Joost W. M. Frenken from Leiden University) are also shown. The ...

Research conducted at CSET encompasses areas such as fundamental theories of friction,adhesion, wear, contact, and lubrication, lubricant and tribochemistry development, contact fatigue testing and ...
