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...
