Abstract
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.
Highlights
The need to reduce energy consumption as well as environmental pollution has been highlighted, especially in the transport sector, which includes industries such as the aeronautical, aerospace, and automotive industries

This paper presents the analysis of the surface roughness, in terms of Ra, obtained by drilling holes to a slightly larger diameter in magnesium alloys UNS M11917 (AZ91D) at low cutting parameters
Summary
The need to reduce energy consumption as well as environmental pollution has been highlighted, especially in the transport sector, which includes industries such as the aeronautical, aerospace, and automotive industries. This need has led to a constant search for the reduction of the weight of components by using lighter materials, which allow for mass reduction and, lower consumption of fuel and polluting emissions. Magnesium’s high chemical reactivity is another drawback that is closely related to problems during machining [12]
