Minimal Quantity Lubrication: Drop on Demand Printing Technique

20.04.2020 Dr. Aydar Akchurin 551 Views

Recent research (https://doi.org/10.1007/s40544-017-0183-5) has shown that about 23% of the world’s total energy consumption comes from the tribological contacts (moving parts subject to friction and wear, such as bearings, gears, etc.). This energy is lost, […]
