Friction drilling is a non-conventional hole-making process suitable for thin-section, ductile metals. During friction drilling, heat is generated due to tool rotation and the resulting flow of metal creates a bushing on the exit side of the hole. The bushing offers a longer engagement length for any subsequent thread making process. The threaded holes in this study were created by friction drilling and thread forming in 6082-T6 aluminium alloy. Four scenarios of the threaded holes were created with four levels of rotation rates of friction drilling processes (2000 rpm to 4000 rpm) and the mechanical properties of the threaded holes were compared. It was shown that 3000-3500 rpm is the optimum range of the rotation rate that achieved the higher load-bearing capacities (i.e., resistance to thread stripping) of 5.0-5.5 kN. In addition, the regions close to the thread surfaces in all scenarios were found to have experienced localised hardening to a hardness from 113 HV to around 125 HV.

Characterizing anisotropy remains challenging in rock mechanics. Particularly, the strengths and failure patterns of layered shales under shear load are significantly anisotropic mainly because of the bedding planes. Meanwhile, understanding the creation and propagation of shear fractures is critical for drilling, mining, tunnelling, exploitation of shale gas, etc.

Context: Drilling fluids must reduce the coefficient of friction between the drilling equipment and the drilled rock or well casing. Friction forces become particularly relevant in drilling with a high angle gain, in which cases oil-based fluids are generally used. The latter are highly lubricating, but harmful to the environment.

Understanding the effect of clay on the mechanical properties and strength criteria of hydrate-bearing sediments (HBS) is essential for evaluating the safety of clay-rich reservoirs. In this study, a series of triaxial shear tests were conducted to investigate the impacts of clay type and content on the mechanical behavior of I-HBS (hydrate-bearing sediments containing illite) and M-HBS (hydrate-bearing sediments containing montmorillonite). The findings reveal that M-HBS exhibit greater susceptibility to strain hardening compared to I-HBS, accompanied by more extensive volume deformation, and both strain hardening and shear shrinkage intensify with increasing clay content.

Article Synopsis
- Four types of protic ionic liquids were developed to enhance the tribological and drilling performance of titanium alloys by analyzing the effects of different anionic alkyl chains.
- An ionic liquid with OH and CC in its anionic chain showed superior metal adhesion, resulting in exceptional performance and a corrosion inhibition rate of 98.45%.
- The ionic liquid also improved drilling efficiency by reducing axial force and temperature, while being environmentally friendly according to biotoxicity assessments.
