Lubricants are harmful to human health and environment. However, it is the only effective method to reduce friction and to prevent tool wear, leading to high quality surface. The present work dealt with development and testing of environmental-friendly tribology systems in manufacturing processes – metal forming and machining. The present study involved experimental studies on pin-on-disk, sheet-metal forming, turning and drilling with different process parameters, ie. lubrication conditions and speeds. Combating friction and tool wear with potential tribology systems like hard coatings, cryogenic lubrication and ultrasonic assisted technique have led to positive results to improve lubrication.
