Wire drawing is aplastic deformation process that produces a wire with a desired diameter by pulling the end of the wire through a die. During the cold wire drawing process, the temperature between the wire and the die bearing is increased. This temperature increase causesenergy consumption increase, bad wire quality, and decreased die life. To reduce friction and avoid high temperature between the wire and the die in the cold wire drawing process, a dry lubricant with soap particles is used. It is not possible to reused the lubricant onceiron oxide is attached to the soap particlesat high pressure die. In this study, recycling technologies for wasted soap particles with processes of crushing, separation, and screening are developed. From the evaluation, the recycling efficiency was found to be 86.97%.

Friction in cold forging with mist lubrication is measured with the ring compression test. Small quantity of mist lubricant is sprayed onto the surfaces of cemented tungsten carbide (WC) tools polished to mirror surfaces, and the specimens of pure aluminum are compressed. It is found that spraying small quantity of lubricant $(0.5\;g/m^2)$ is effective to reduce the friction in comparison with the dry condition. The mist particles stick to the tool surface as separated dots, and the behavior of the trapped mist lubricant between the tool and specimen during upsetting is discussed.

Currently, in order to resist the scratching of the fuel rod surface while fabricating the fuel assembly of the light-water nuclear reactor, we use a solution of nitrocellulose, an explosive material, as a dry lubricant along with its solvent. However, the demand for developing safe and harmless aqueous alternative materials for environment-conservation and field-worker safety has increased. In this study, we demonstrate the preparation of a novel aqueous resin composite using a formulation of aqueous polymeric resin, alcoholic solvent, and water. Subsequently, we characterize this composite on the basis of hardness, adhesive property, and water solubility using plates similar to the fuel rod material. The insertion test of a fuel rod coated with the YS-3 composite shows load values of $18.8-20.5kg/cm^2$, which is comparable with $18.8-20.5kg/cm^2$ of the nitrocellulose coating agent. In addition, the depth and width of longitudinal scratches caused by the YS-3 composite test are 50% higher than those of the standard. We can develop a harmless and safe aqueous dry lubricant to replace the existing NC products through field testing of 264 pieces of fuel rods, after producing 350 kg of the YS-3 prototype. The scratch test for the rod surface showed that weight of chip of YS-3 prototype was smaller than that of NC before and after solvent treatment, indicating the properties of YS-3 prototype was comparable to the counterpart.

This paper develops and evaluates a mechanical machining process which involves drilling on PVS material. According to the material, two treatment experiments were conducted, one involving drilling in a wet condition or using a lubricant and one involving drilling in a dry condition with no lubricant. Drilling in a dry condition showed better performance in terms of the cutting time than in the wet condition. Otherwise, the wet condition has several advantages. The lubricant influenced the burr diameter size and minimized the temperature on the surface of the work piece. During the wet condition drilling process, a smaller burr diameter size was noted as compared to the dry condition. The temperature showed a linear correlation with the drill bit size, where a least-square analysis provided an $R^2$valuewhichexceeded 0.95. The wet condition required more cutting time than the dry condition. In this condition, the water provides a lubrication effect. A thin layer between the cutting edges and the surface of the work piece is formed. The chip formation is affected by the drilling depth. The color on the tips of the chips was darker than in the initial condition. No correlation between the drilling depth and the bore roughness was noted, but the variation of the cutting speed or the RPM influenced the roughness of the bore. The optimum cutting speed ranged from 40 RPM to 45 RPM in the condition which provided the finest roughness surface.

High temperature alloy steel such as Ni-Cr-Mo-V material has excellent properties of high strength and high heating resistance. It has been used for several military weapon components such as gun barrel of a warship, turbine rotor and turbine disk for nuclear power plant. Being curious about this material required excellent wear resistance and durability in extreme environmental conditions. A dry wear test at the ambient air and Ar gas conditions in the room temperature were performed in this study. What's more a lubricant wear test at different temperature was conducted. In addition that DLC was coated on Ni-Cr-Mo-V alloy steel substrate with a thickness of $3{\mu}m$, a property of it was compare with lubricant conditions. All the coefficient of friction and wear volume, comparing with DLC coated specimens. The test parameters were selected as follows: 10 N for normal load; 80 rpm for sliding wear speed; and 300 m for the sliding wear distance.

Based on the experimental observation, the mathematical friction model, which is an essential information for analyzing the forming process of sheet metal, is developed considering lubricant viscosity, surface roughness and hardness, punch corner radius, and punch speed. By comparing the punch load found by FEM with a proposed friction model with experimental measurement when the coated and uncoated steel sheets are formed in 2-D geometry in dry and lubricant conditions, the validity and accuracy of the developed friction model are demonstrated.

This work aims to develop a dry lubricant for oilless bush, especially a solid lubricant, thereby creating a coating method with improved properties of anti-friction and load-carrying capacity without oil lubrication. In this work, spherical-shaped powders of thermosetting resin such as polyimide (PI) are mixed with a binder matrix obtained by mixing a fluorocarbon compound resin such as Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or Ethylene tetra fluoro ethylene (ETFE) with itself or with a non-fluorocarbon thermoplastic resin such as Polyether ether ketone (PEEK). And these dry lubricant mixtures are thickly coated (200-300 mm in the thickness) on the inner surface of the bush by using a wet-typed air-spray deposition method. It was found that the load-carrying capacity of the solid lubricant for excavator bush (60 mm in diameter) that operates under a high load condition (at 40 MPa) is greatly improved owing to the spherical-shaped powders of thermosetting resin. In addition, the coefficient of friction at the sliding surface is also reduced less than 0.1. Thick coating also lowers the contact stress at the edge of a bush that results in better tribological performances. The result suggests that the lubrication performance and durability life of the bush can be remarkably improved even without lubrication (oil or grease).

The processing conditions for the mass production of platelet WS$_2$ lubricant powder were optimized. The mixture of tungsten and sulfur powders was sealed in a vacuum of 10$^{-3}$ torr and heat-treated at 850$\circ$C for 2 h. The internal pressure of reaction chamber was maintained at certain level by controlling the release valve automatically. The reaction product was the platelet WS$_2$ powder with an average size of 15 $\mu$m. The synthesized WS$_2$ powder was then coated on the wiper-blade of automobiles and the commercial deep-grooved ball bearing using wet and dry coating methods, respectively. High lubricity and wear resistance of wet coated wiper-blade were confirmed by the life test of 70,000 cycles. The life-time of the ball bearing assembled after WS$_2$ coating onto each part increased 50 times compared to the non-coated ball bearing.

While the die casting has been mainly used to manufacture the magnesium alloy parts, the press forming is considered as an alternative to the die casting for saving the manufacturing cost and improving the structural strength of the magnesium alloy parts. Because the magnesium alloy has low formability at room temperature, forming at elevated temperatures is a necessary condition to obtain the required material flow for press forming. However, the elevated temperature forming does not always guarantee the sufficient formability under the dry friction condition because the surface damage such as scratch or wear may accelerate the material failure. In the present study, the solid-type lubricants such as PTFE, graphite and $MoS_2$ were tested for the square cup warm deep drawing using the magnesium alloy AZ31 sheet. The formability improvement by using the lubricant was examined by comparing the maximum deep drawing depth using the PTFE against no lubricant. The formability difference for the different lubricant was also examined based on the maximum deep drawing depth.
