improve machining and grinding processes across a broad range of applications in manufacturing.


The use of NanoGlide™, NanoMech‘s innovative nanolubricant, is expected to reduce significantly friction and heat generation at the machining inter- face, resulting in excellent surface finish, reduced thermo-mechanical damage and greatly improved surface integrity of the machined parts resulting in longer life and quality performance.


Keith Blakely, NanoMech‘s CEO, said “Inspiring process innovation and the competitiveness of US manufacturers is essential for the nation to come out of the current economic slump and provide sustaina- ble economic growth. The potential of MQL to pro- vide energy savings, positive environmental impact, and improved worker safety are vital goals while simultaneously achieving increased productivity. The proposed innovative research effort, invented at the University of Arkansas using the NanoGlide platform technology, is focused on revolutionizing and repla- cing recirculating lubricant systems, which are sour- ces of excessive process and product variation, yield losses, and significant waste streams.” http://www.nanomech.biz
