IME Colloquium today (Friday, April 20)
Machining is a process that involves extreme physical and chemical interactions between cutting tools and work materials. The high tool wear and energy expenditure, and the use of polluting fluids translate into "high" operational costs and environmental impacts. Wilfredo Moscoso-Kingsley, assistant professor of the Department of Industrial, Systems and Manufacturing Engineering, will present a potentially viable method to formulate machining methods that significantly reduce the extreme physical and chemical interactions, without having to employ cutting fluids. He is author or co-author of several scientific articles that have appeared in journals and conference proceedings, and has four patents issued by the USPTO. He was co-recipient of the 2010 R&D 100 Award for the development of technology for tool modulation, and co-recipient of the Indiana State Winner Award at the 2012 Clean Energy Challenge for the development of technology for sheet production.
