The present paper describes the effect of the rolling direction on the quality of microchannels manufactured using photochemical machining (PCM) of Monel 400. Experiments were carried out to fabricate microchannels along and across the rolling direction to investigate the effect of the grain orientation on microchannel etching. The input parameters considered were channel width and rolling direction, whereas the depth of etch was the response parameters. Different channels of widths of 60, 100, 150, 200, and 250 μm were etched. The effects of the etching time and temperature of the etchant solution on the undercut and depth of the microchannels were studied. For good quality microchannels, the effects of spinning time, spinning speed, exposure time, and photoresist film strength were also taken into consideration. Optimized values of the above were used for the experimentation. The results show that the depth of etch of the microchannel increases more along the rolling direction than across the rolling direction. The channel width and depth are significantly affected by the etching time and temperature. The proposed study reports an improvement in the quality of microchannels produced using PCM.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the tribological effects of laser surface texturing (LST) and residual stress on functional surfaces. Design/methodology/approach Three different surface textures (circular dimple, elliptical dimple and groove) with two different textured area ratios (10 and 20 per cent) are designed and fabricated by a Picosecond Nd YAG Laser machine. The friction and wear performance of textured specimens is tested using a UMT-2 friction and wear testing machine in mixed lubrication. Findings Test results show that elliptical dimples exhibit the best performance in wear resistance, circular dimples in friction reduction and grooves in stabilization of friction. The surfaces with larger textured area density exhibit better performance in both friction reduction and wear resistance. The improved performance of LST is the coupled effect of surface texture and residual stress. Originality/value The findings of this study may provide guidance for optimal design of functional surface textures in reciprocating sliding contacts under mixed or hydrodynamic lubrication, which can be used in automotive and other industrial applications.

There are strong demands for a machining process capable of reducing the surface roughness of sliding parts, such as auto parts and other components, with high efficiency. In this work, we attempted to grind hardened steel to a mirror-like surface finish with high efficiency using an ultra-high speed grinding process. In the present study, we examined the effects of the work speed and the grinding wheel grain size in an effort to optimize the grinding conditions for accomplishing mirror-like surface grinding with high efficiency. The results showed that increasing the work speed, while keeping grinding efficiency constant, was effective in reducing the work affected layer and that the grinding force of a #200 CBN wheel was lower than that of a #80 CBN wheel. Based on these results, a high-efficiency grinding step with optimized grinding conditions was selected that achieved excellent ground surface quality with a mirror-like finish.

Bio-degradable lubricants are the need for industries to promote eco-friendly manufacturing process and protect the workers from health hazards. In this paper, the use of oil–water emulsions from the bio-substitute oils have been formulated and its process parameter on a machining process are optimized using response surface methodology. The emulsions are prepared from the vegetable oils such as castor, mahua, palm and neem oil with polysorbate as emulsifying agent. The friction and wear characteristics are studied with a standard pin on disc tribometer for all the emulsions prepared with the base oils namely castor, mahua and palm oil. From the tribological characterization tests, the castor oil emulsions have shown better performance and stability in comparison to other oils. Hence, castor oil emulsions have been tested for its machining performance studies against a conventional mineral oil emulsion in a turning process. Further, an emulsion based on castor oil and neem oil have been tested for tool wear to utilize the antimicrobial properties of neem oil for reducing the bio fouling effects. The machining performance is indicated based on the surface finish and tool wear. Response surface methodology have been used for optimization of the machining parameters, such as cutting velocity, feed rate and depth of cut to achieve an optimal surface finish for a maximum material removal rate. The results show that the castor oil based emulsion can be used as an excellent alternative for mineral oil emulsions.

The study of surface texturing on a metallic surface has become a great area of interest of researchers in the last few decades. Surface texturing is employed for enhancing the performance of the surface in its working environment. As the characterization techniques have been evolving very fast, researchers have started mimicking the natural surfaces to take the advantages of their characteristics (such as self-cleaning, load capacity, reducing coefficient of friction). Manufacturing of natural inspired surface requires having a great control over the process to achieve the micro or nano features on the natural surfaces. Hence, the selection of the most suitable process and optimum parameters for machining of arrays of micro or nano features at large scale is highly desirable. This study reports an overview of different micromachining processes used for texturing on metallic surfaces and research gaps to be filled in the available literature. Electrochemical micromachining has tremendous potential on account of its versatility in different applications. It is a promising and economically viable machining process for micromanufacturing industries for fabrication of micro textures and micro features on metallic surfaces. Production of textured surface at large scale requires a sustainable technology, which can serve the purpose of enhancing the performance of the surface without changing the original properties of the surface. Indeed, laser surface texturing, through-mask electrochemical micromachining, lithography, micro- or nanocasting and so on are the existing methods which involve multiple steps for generation of textured surfaces. This article also reports some original experimental investigations for generation of different kinds of micro textures on metallic surfaces, namely, arrays of micro dimples, micro channels and micro pillars using a single-step maskless electrochemical micro-texturing process with a pre-patterned micro tool.

Surface texturing has been frequently used for tribological purposes in the last three decades due to its great potential to reduce friction and wear. Although biological systems advocate the use of hierarchical, multi-scale surface textures, most of the published experimental and numerical works have mainly addressed effects induced by single-scale surface textures. Therefore, it can be assumed that the potential of multi-scale surface texturing to further optimize friction and wear is underexplored. The aim of this review article is to shed some light on the current knowledge in the field of multi-scale surface textures applied to tribological systems from an experimental and numerical point of view. Initially, fabrication techniques with their respective advantages and disadvantages regarding the ability to create multi-scale surface textures are summarized. Afterwards, the existing state-of-the-art regarding experimental work performed to explore the potential, as well as the underlying effects of multi-scale textures under dry and lubricated conditions, is presented. Subsequently, numerical approaches to predict the behavior of multi-scale surface texturing under lubricated conditions are elucidated. Finally, the existing knowledge and hypotheses about the underlying driven mechanisms responsible for the improved tribological performance of multi-scale textures are summarized, and future trends in this research direction are emphasized.
