    Feasibility Study of Hole Repair and Maintenance Operations by Dry Drilling of Magnesium Alloy UNS M11917 for Aeronautical Components
    (MDPI, 2019-06-30) Berzosa, Fernando; Davim, J. P.; Agustina Tejerizo, Beatriz De; Rubio Alvir, Eva María
    Magnesium alloys are increasingly used due to the reduction of weight and pollutants that can be obtained, especially in the aeronautical, aerospace, and automotive sectors. In maintenance and repair tasks, it is common to carry out re-drilling processes, which must comply with the established quality requirements and be performed following the required safety and environmental standards. Currently, there is still a lack of knowledge of the machining of these alloys, especially with regards to drilling operations. The present article studies the influence of different cutting parameters on the surface quality obtained by drilling during repair and/or maintaining operations. For this propose, an experimental design was established that allows for the optimization of resources, using the average roughness (Ra) as the response variable, and it was analyzed through the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results were within the margins of variation of the factors considered: the combination of factor levels that keep the Ra within the established margin, those that allow for the minimization of roughness, and those that allow for the reduction of machining time. In this sense, these operations were carried out in the most efficient way.

    Influence of the Main Blown Film Extrusion Process Parameters on the Mechanical Properties of a High-Density Polyethylene Hexene Copolymer and Linear Low-Density Polyethylene Butene Copolymer Blend Used for Plastic Bags
    (MDPI, 2023-11-09) Cuesta, Francisco; Camacho López, Ana María; Rubio Alvir, Eva María; MDPI
    Polyethylene plastic bags manufactured via blown film extrusion have different quality specifications depending on their intended use. It is known that the mechanical properties of a film depend on the process parameters established, but little is known concerning how they affect one another, even more so due to the variety of polyethylene materials and processing techniques. This study focuses on establishing a proper correspondence of important mechanical properties like the dart impact, tensile strength at break, and elongation at break with commonly used process parameters like the blow-up ratio, take-up ratio, thickness reduction, and neck height, for a highdensity polyethylene hexene copolymer and a linear low-density polyethylene butene copolymer blend film. Because this polyethylene mixture is an anisotropic material, interesting R2 values equal to or higher than 0.90 were found: a BUR with elongation at break and tensile strength at break in the MD and TD, a TUR with elongation at break in the MD and tensile strength at break in the MD and TD, and a TR with elongation at break and tensile strength at break in the MD. Also, a relationship between the dart impact and both the neck height and thickness were found.

    Tool Selection in Drilling of Magnesium UNSM11917 Pieces under Dry and MQL Conditions based on Surface Roughness
    (Elsevier, 2017) Berzosa, Fernando; Agustina Tejerizo, Beatriz De; Rubio Alvir, Eva María
    Nowadays, the use of lighter materials for transportation purposes is still a challenge; especially in the aeronautical and aerospace sectors. The use of certain materials, such as magnesium alloys which have exceptional mechanical properties relative to density as structural materials, allows a remarkable reduction of weight. These alloys have significant challenges in machining. On the one hand, their use with water-based lubricants can produce flammable hydrogen atmospheres and, on the other hand, the operational parameters can produce tiny chips which, at high temperature, could burn. Regarding the tools, drills are the most used ones in drilling operations; manufacturers do not always take in consideration magnesium alloys. This is why, sometimes, the data from other types of similar alloys need to be extrapolated. This work shows an experimental study about the drilling of magnesium pieces based on surface roughness. The main goal is to determine the tools that best suit the requirement of surface roughness for this type of operations, which, for the aeronautical sector, is from 0.8 to 1.6 μm. The tests have been conducted under different cutting conditions, using several types of tools and two sustainable lubrication systems. In particular, dry machining and minimum quantity of lubrication (MQL) system have been used. A design of experiments (DOE) has been used to optimize the resources. The average roughness, Ra, has been selected as a response variable. The roughness values obtained are lower than 0.9 μm (namely, from 0.13 μm to 0.87 μm); so, it is possible to increase some of the parameter values, in order to improve the productivity, without they go outside the established limits. The results have been analyzed using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) method. A model for estimating the expected surface roughness in terms of the Rae, has been developed.

    Repairing Hybrid Mg–Al–Mg Components Using Sustainable Cooling Systems
    (MDPI, 2020-01-15) Blanco, David; Rubio Alvir, Eva María; Marín Martín, Marta María; Davim, J. P.; MDPI; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3776-5010
    This paper focused on the maintenance or repair of holes made using hybrid Mg–Al–Mg components by drilling, using two sustainable cooling techniques (dry machining and cold compressed air) and taking surface roughness on the inside of the holes as the response variable. The novelty of the work is in proving that the repair operations of the multi-material components (magnesium–aluminum–magnesium) and the parts made of aluminum and magnesium (separately) but assembled to form a higher component can be done simultaneously, thus reducing the time and cost of the assembly and disassembly of this type of component. The study is based on a design of experiments (DOE) defined as a product of a full factorial 23 and a block of two factors (3 2). Based on our findings, we propose that the analyzed operations are feasible under sustainable conditions and, in particular, under dry machining. Also, the results depend on the machining order

    Efficiency and Sustainability Analysis of the Repair and Maintenance Operations of UNS M11917 Magnesium Alloy Parts of the Aeronautical Industry Made by Intermittent Facing
    (MDPI, 2021-06-28) Fernández, Jacobo; Rubio Alvir, Eva María; Carou, D.; Lorente Pedreille, Raquel María; MDPI; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6395-304X
    This paper analyzes the efficiency and sustainability of facing operations that are required within maintenance operations in the aeronautical industry. Due to the elevated cost and environmental impact of such processes, reducing the operating time while repairing parts is required. In this work, an experimental study of intermittent facing carried out on a magnesium alloy rod was developed. The experiment resembles real repair and maintenance machining operations, where an intermittent facing represents a more realistic scenario and where the results obtained in continuous turning studies are not always applicable. The work was performed with different cooling and lubrication systems and various cutting conditions, also considering the size of the interruption to analyze their impact in the surface roughness. To this end, surface finished in different measuring zones was studied. The aims of the study are to get a better understanding of the intermittent facing process in magnesium alloys typically employed in aeronautical applications and find the most efficient cutting parameters to obtain an improved surface under the safest and most environmentally respectful conditions.

    Geometric Optimization of Drills Used to Repair Holes in Magnesium Aeronautical Components
    (MDPI, 2020-11-18) Berzosa, Fernando; Rubio Alvir, Eva María; Agustina Tejerizo, Beatriz De; Davim, J. P.; MDPI
    Magnesium alloys are used in the aeronautical sector due to their excellent strength/weight ratios, motivated by the reduction of weight that their use entails. In this sector, drilling is one of the most common operations, if not the most, due to the large number of holes that are used in joining processes, mainly by riveting. The appearance of cracks is a risk to the structural safety of the components, such that it is necessary to regularly check them for maintenance and/or repair tasks. The present study tries to determine the optimization of the characteristics of the twist drills, which are re-sharpened successively to restore the cutting edge after use, as well as the operating parameters in machining. For this purpose, a full factorial experimental design was established, analyzing through the analysis of the variance (ANOVA) the response variables. Surface integrity was considered to carry out a global vision of the quality obtained, covering as response variables the surface roughness, the size of the burrs and the modification of the hardness produced, in addition to a topological characterization by optical means of machined surfaces. The main conclusion is that it is possible that the geometric optimization of the tools and the operating parameters considered in this study in drilling processes allow them to be performed, while maintaining quality and environmental requirements, and at the same time, maximize the productivity of operations.

    Sustainable Lubrication/Cooling Systems for Efficient Turning Operations of γ‑TiAl Parts from the Aeronautic Industry
    (Springer, 2023-05-01) Benedicto Bardolet, Elisabet; Aubouy, Laurent; Saéz Nuño, María Ana; Rubio Alvir, Eva María
    This paper presents the study of the finishing, repair, and maintenance turning operations of gamma titanium aluminide (γ-TiAl) parts from the aeronautic industry, with the aim to evaluate different sustainable lubrication/cooling environments, including a newly developed synthetic ester water-based metalworking fluid (EcoMWF) to replace mineral-based MWF (MWF). The systems considered in this work are dry, cold-compressed air, minimum quantity lubrication (MQL), cryogenic, and flood on turning of a new and relatively low explored titanium alloy, γ-TiAl. Therefore, the influence of machining parameters and insert type on tool wear, surface roughness, roundness, and cutting temperature have been investigated for each environment. Results detailed in this study showed a significant influence of the lubrication/cooling systems on the machinability of γ-TiAl. The study also revealed that the sustainability of turning γ-TiAl could be improved under the cryogenic system and the new EcoMWF, keeping the same machining performance as common mineral-based MWF.

    Analysis of Force Signals for the Estimation of Surface Roughness during Robot-Assisted Polishing
    (MDPI, 2018-08-15) Agustina Tejerizo, Beatriz De; Marín Martín, Marta María; Teti, Roberto; Rubio Alvir, Eva María; MDPI
    In this study feature extraction of force signals detected during robot-assisted polishing processes was carried out to estimate the surface roughness during the process. The purpose was to collect significant features from the signal that allow the determination of the end point of the polishing process based on surface roughness. For this objective, dry polishing turning tests were performed on a Robot-Assisted Polishing (RAP) machine (STRECON NanoRAP 200) during three polishing sessions, using the same polishing conditions. Along the tests, force signals were acquired and offline surface roughness measurements were taken at the end of each polishing session. As a main conclusion, it can be affirmed, regarding the force signal, that features extracted from both time and frequency domains are valuable data for the estimation of surface roughness.

    Formulation of SustainableWater-Based Cutting Fluids with Polyol Esters for Machining Titanium Alloys
    (MDPI, 2021-05-08) Benedicto Bardolet, Elisabet; Aubouy, Laurent; Saéz Nuño, María Ana; Rubio Alvir, Eva María
    The machinability of titanium alloys still represents a demanding challenge and the development of new clean technologies to lubricate and cool is greatly needed. As a sustainable alternative to mineral oil, esters have shown excellent performance during machining. Herein, the aim of this work is to investigate the influence of esters’ molecular structure in oil-in-water emulsions and their interaction with the surface to form a lubricating film, thus improving the efficiency of the cutting fluid. The lubricity performance and tool wear protection are studied through film formation analysis and the tapping process on Ti6Al4V. The results show that the lubricity performance is improved by increasing the formation of the organic film on the metal surface, which depends on the ester’s molecular structure and its ability to adsorb on the surface against other surface-active compounds. Among the cutting fluids, noteworthy results are obtained using trimethylolpropane trioleate, which increases the lubricating film formation (containing 62% ester), thus improving the lubricity by up to 12% and reducing the torque increase due to tool wear by 26.8%. This work could be very useful for fields where often use difficult-to-machine materials—such as Ti6Al4V or γ-TiAl—which require large amounts of cutting fluids, since the formulation developed will allow the processes to be more efficient and sustainable.
