Sponsored Project
Project Title: Development of a novel cooling strategy for dry grinding and experimental investigations on its performance
Funding Agency: SERB-CRG
Role: Principal Investigator (PI)
Status: Ongoing
Ongoing works
-
How about cooling the worksurface in grinding without any external fluid supply?
-
Metalworking fluid selection for grinding process: Coolant or lubricant? How it can be decided for a given condition?
-
How can the form and shape accuracies be maintained in electro-chemistry-based polishing techniques?
-
How about a single (or unique) parameter for predicting the extent of grinding process responses?
