The effect on usage of quarry dust suspension as coolant in drilling of titanium alloy
In the aerospace field, titanium alloys are extensively used for the airframe and engine parts to improve aircraft fuel consumption. Drilling through these parts in a single-shot process to produce high quality holes is challenging. During drilling, high temperatures are generated owing to the frict...

In the aerospace field, titanium alloys are extensively used for the airframe and engine parts to improve aircraft fuel consumption. Drilling through these parts in a single-shot process to produce high quality holes is challenging. During drilling, high temperatures are generated owing to the friction between the cutting tool and workpiece. This phenomenon causes in rapid tool wear and the deterioration of the machined/drilled surface. With increased tool wear, the cutting tool loses its sharpness, leading to burr formation at the exit of the drilled hole. To reduce the temperature produced in the cutting zone, different types of cooling techniques during drilling have been used by researchers. However, limited studies have been found by utilizing the quarry dust suspension as coolant in the drilling process. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of different concentrations of quarry dust suspension as coolant in drilling of titanium alloy.
