EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF COOLING LUBRICATING FLUIDS ON PENETRATION RATE IN A HARD AND SOFT ROCK DRILLING PROCESS by Shahrokh Khosravimanesh, Masoud Cheraghi Seifabad, Reza Mikaeil, Raheb Bagherpour

“…Rock drilling is the process of penetrating and crushing rocks, which is characterized by the low rate of penetration (ROP) and drilling rate because of the amount of cuttings that remain in the drilling environment and the thermal stresses generated at the bit-rock interface. Any improvement in ROP and drilling rate can be of great technical and economic value for drilling projects. …”
