Researchers have discovered that graphene-based lubricants and coatings can slow down wear damage in mechanical parts used during the cold pilgering process, where tubes of differing alloys are used to reduce the diameter and wall thickness of extrude tube. The researchers, from Department of Atomic Energy Department of Atomic Energy in Mumbai , in partnership with Department of Metallurgic Engineering and Material Science This process greatly improves the material’s grain structure, while also reducing the outside and inside diameter of the tube in a rapid manner. the Indian Institute of Technology's , found that the graphene-based lubricant notably reduced abrasive wear compared to the mineral oil lubricant and that future industrial applications could be useful in the cold pilgering process, as well as other machinery.
