Nanostructured Cr-WS2 Solid Lubricant Coating for Space Applications
Abstract: Abstract Tungsten disulphide (WS2) is one of the widely used intrinsic low friction materials, which is commonly used in the form of coating. WS2 offers very low coefficient of friction only in non humid conditions. Presence of humidity destroys this property and restricts its utility. Modifying the structure of WS2 by adding certain metals helps in overcoming this limitation and in addition improves the mechanical properties. Further, deposition technique and …

Managing Blow-by in Modern Engines: A Comprehensive Review of Crankcase Ventilation Technologies
Abstract: Blow-by in internal combustion (IC) engines occurs when high-pressure combustion gases escape past the piston rings into the crankcase. These gases typically carry oil aerosols, unburned hydrocarbons, and fine particulate matter, which, if not effectively managed, can disrupt lubrication, accelerate component wear, and contribute to harmful emissions. Effective crankcase ventilation is therefore essential not only for ensuring engine durability but also for meeting increasingly stringent emission regulations. This paper examines …
