Cubic Boron Nitride Inserts for Iron Based Workpieces

Executive Summary Compacted graphite iron (CGI) has recently been gaining more attention due to its superior mechanical properties over the currently more popular flake graphite iron (FGI), aka gray cast iron. However, the poor machinability has prevented CGI to be used in a wider range of potential applications. Researchers at Michigan State University...

Magnetic Field-Assisted Finishing Composition

Executive Summary Magnetic field-assisted finishing (MAF) is a machining process which utilizes a magnet, ferrous materials, abrasive materials, and an oil to create a ‘brush’ for polishing operations. The process allows automation of surface finishing without the need for manual polishing. However, the quality of the finishing is highly...

Machining Lubricant Containing Exfoliated Graphite

Executive Summary Machining processes in high production environment usually adopt flood cooling with water-based lubricants and various chemicals. In order to minimize the lubricant use and waste (which also eliminate centralized pumping stations), minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) techniques have been adopted, which generate mist of oil droplets....

Powder Composition to Achieve a Near Full Density with Stainless Steel in 3D Printing

Executive Summary Currently, 3D printing of stainless steel yields a porous product that requires infiltration with another metal, such as bronze, to increase its density. This infiltration process can drastically alter the mechanical properties of the 3D printed part, rendering it unusable for most industrial applications. MSU’s innovative...
