A study of the effect of palm oil as MQL lubricant on high speed drilling of titanium alloys

The main objective was to study the potency of MQL palm oil (MQLPO) as a lubricant in the high speed drilling of Ti-6Al-4V. For the comparison, MQL synthetic ester (MQLSE), air blow and flood conditions were selected. Uniform flank wear, micro-chipping, thermal cracking and flaking were the dominant...
