Energy consumption model and energy efficiency of machine tools: a comprehensive literature review

The reach of tribology has expanded in diverse fields and tribology related research activities have seen immense growth during the last decade. This review takes stock of the recent advances in research pertaining to different aspects of tribology within the last 2 to 3 years. Different aspects of tribology that have been reviewed including lubrication, wear and surface engineering, biotribology, high temperature tribology, and computational tribology. This review attempts to highlight recent research and also presents future outlook pertaining to these aspects. It may however be noted that there are limitations of this review. One of the most important of these is that tribology being a highly multidisciplinary field, the research results are widely spread across various disciplines and there can be omissions because of this. Secondly, the topics dealt with in the field of tribology include only some of the salient topics (such as lubrication, wear, surface engineering, biotribology, high temperature tribology, and computational tribology) but there are many more aspects of tribology that have not been covered in this review. Despite these limitations it is hoped that such a review will bring the most recent salient research in focus and will be beneficial for the growing community of tribology researchers.

Statistical Analysis of Microstructures in Materials Science

Electrochemical micromachining (micro-ECM) is an unconventional micromachining technology that has capability to fabricate high aspect ratio micro-holes, micro-cavities, micro-channels and grooves on conductive and difficult-to-cut materials. Both academia and industry have the consensus that it offers promising machining performance especially in terms of high surface finish, no tool wear and absence of thermally induced defects. Furthermore in order to machine novel materials with extreme properties, novel hybrid electrochemical micromachining technologies are under development. With these hybrid micro-ECM technologies, capabilities of micro-ECM can be expanded by combining it with other processes. To fully exploit the potential as well as improve micro-ECM technology and related hybrid processes, a wide spectrum of multidisciplinary knowledge is needed. The present review systematically discusses process capabilities and research developments of electrochemical micromachining and its hybrid variants considering knowledge of both basic and applied research fields. After few introductory review articles in prior state of the art, this review fills an important gap in research literature by presenting first time an extended literature source with a wide coverage of recent research developments in electrochemical micromachining technology and its hybrid variants. This paper outlines the research and engineering developments in electrochemical micromachining technology and its hybrid variants, review of the related concepts, aspects of tooling, advanced process capabilities and process energy sources. It also provides new sights into technological understanding of micro-ECM technology which will be helpful in future engineering developments of this technology.
