Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Tribology is the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion regarding friction, wear, and lubrication, involving interdisciplinary fields such as mechanical engineering, materials science and engineering, chemistry and chemical engineering, and manufacturing engineering. In particular, tribology plays a prominent role in traditional and advanced manufacturing technologies, especially those including metal working, metal forming, metal machining, and micro/nano manufacturing. The study of tribology is significant in manufacturing processes since it is instrumental in cost-effectiveness, quality control, process optimisation, and performance enhancement of products. As green manufacturing and its sustainable development are garnering increased attention and interest at present, tribology-related research in manufacturing engineering needs to provide new possibilities to meet future demands for resource-saving and net-zero emissions.

The current Special Issue focuses on the latest developments and advancement of tribology in manufacturing technologies in terms of experimental and simulation research concerning tribology in advanced manufacturing and the associated manufacturing processes of metal products.

Rapid developments in aerospace and nuclear industries pushed forward the search for high-performance self-lubricating materials with low friction and wear characteristics under severe environment. In this paper, we investigated the influence of the Mo element on the tribological performance of nickel alloy matrix composites from room temperature to 800 °C under atmospheric conditions. The results demonstrated that composites exhibited excellent lubricating (with low friction coefficients of 0.19–0.37) and wear resistance properties (with low wear rates of 2.5–28.1 × 10−5 mm3/Nm), especially at a content of elemental Mo of 8 wt. % and 12 wt. %. The presence of soft metal Ag on the sliding surface as solid lubricant resulted in low friction and wear rate in a temperature range from 25 to 400 °C, while at elevated temperatures (600 and 800 °C), the effective lubricant contributed to the formation of a glazed layer rich in NiCr2O4, BaF2/CaF2, and Ag2MoO4. SEM, EDS, and the Raman spectrum indicated that abrasive and fatigue wear were the main wear mechanisms for the studied composites during sliding against the Si3N4 ceramic ball. The obtained results provide an insightful suggestion for future designing and fabricating solid lubricant composites with low friction and wear properties. Full article

This work is concerned with forming, specifically deep drawing, and its influence on the micro-mechanical properties of sheet metal. In practice, there are several applications in which fractions can occur due to weak spots in the deep-drawn sheet metal, especially after long-term use. The deep drawing process was carried out on BUP–600 machines using the LHD (Limiting Dome Height) method, which uses a forming tool with a diameter of 100 mm and bead groove. Sheet metals X8CrMnNi19-6-3 (1.4376) with thicknesses of 1, 1.5, and 3 mm were selected for this process. To study the effect of a lubricant on the formability of the sheet metal, deep drawing without and with a lubricant was compared. An FEM analysis was conducted to identify critical points in the deep drawing process, and the results were later compared with real results. The analysis was conducted using the AutoForm program. The micro-mechanical properties of these points were subsequently examined. The specified points on the formed part showed significant differences in their micro-mechanical properties, suggesting a higher strength but also less resistance to fractures. The difference in micro-mechanical properties (indentation and Vickers hardness) in points that were not deep-drawn and points located in critical areas was up to 86%. Significant changes in behavior were found in the indentation modulus and plastic/elastic deformation work as well. This study demonstrates the significant effect of the use of a lubricant in achieving the deep drawing of the sheet metal. The application of a lubricant resulted in a 33% increase in drawing range compared to drawing without lubrication. This study has a significant influence on the deep drawing of sheet metals in practice, showing the fundamental influence of the lubricant on the drawing process and also showing the problem of critical points that need to be eliminated.

An Rtec ball-on-disk tribometer was used to investigate the tribological performance of the synthesised water-based nanolubricants containing hBN/TiO2 nanocomposite at room temperature. The water-based nanolubricants with different concentrations were prepared by adding glycerol and sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) under ultrasonication. These as-prepared nanolubricants demonstrated exceptional dispersion stability for 7 days without distinct sedimentation. The results indicate that the water-based nanolubricants with an overall concentration of 1.0 wt% at different ratios (hBN: TiO2 = (1:0), (0.7:0.3), (0.5:0.5), (0.3:0.7), (0:1)) can effectively reduce the coefficient of friction (COF) and the wear of the ball and disk. In particular, the water-based nanolubricant containing 0.5 wt% hBN and 0.5 wt% TiO2 exhibited the best tribological performance, leading to a significant reduction in COF up to 70%, and decreased the wear area of the ball and disk by up to 79.57% and 60.40%, respectively, compared to those obtained using distilled water. The lubrication mechanisms were mainly attributed to the formation of a protective film, and the mending, polishing, rolling, and synergistic effects of the hBN nanosheets and TiO2 nanoparticles.

In this paper, the influence of molybdenum element on nickel-alloy matrix composites friction and wear behavior from room temperature to 800 °C in air condition were investigated. Results presented that all four composite exhibited low friction (0.19-0.37) and wear rate (2.5-28.1×10-5 mm3/Nm), especially as the Mo elements content is 8 and 12 percent. The wear mechanisms at different testing temperatures systematic synergistice based on the SEM, EDS and Raman spectrum results.
