During dry machining of titanium alloy, significant heat is generated, which has detrimental effect on the quality of machined components and longevity of cutting tools.

However, they are also known for poor oxidation stability and inadequate performance at low temperatures. Halogen-free ionic liquids (HF-IL) are evolves as potential additive to MWFs due to its distinct properties such as high thermal stability and oxidation stability.

In the case of micro-drilling, the size effect plays a significant role, the ploughing dominancy is considerable and affects the chip formation mechanisms and the tool loading conditions, which are not strictly proportional to the rate of the tool wear. Consequently, the progression and modelling of wear of micro-drills in CFRPs cannot be directly implemented from macro-scale experiences. This study aims to develop a predictive model for flank wear of industrially used uncoated solid carbide micro-drills during CFRP machining. Thousands of holes were drilled to construct a general flank wear model, which was subsequently validated using additional experiments involving hundreds of holes. Tool wear was characterized through digital and scanning electron microscopy, while the influence of feed was analysed through analysis of variances (ANOVA). The developed general model incorporates feed and cutting length to predict micro-drills' flank wear accurately. The proposed model demonstrated high accuracy (maximum 13 % of main absolute percentage error) and robustness, offering a valuable tool for engineers to enhance process planning, maintain machining quality, predict remaining tool lifetime, and improve efficiency in composite micro-drilling operations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23970,"journal":{"name":"Wear","volume":"574 ","pages":"Article 206086"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143874043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, a graphene oxide green-enhanced diamond hybrid slurry was introduced in this study for single crystal diamond polishing with quartz glass as a polishing disk.

The scratched morphologies on single crystal diamond surfaces were obtained, and the amorphization degree was analyzed to reveal the subsurface damage mechanism.
