Description
The process refers to the removal of 1 kg of steel using a drilling machining operation. If the mass of metal removed during the drilling process is not explicitly defined, an average assumption of "0.0680 kg of steel scrap generated per 1 kg of final product produced" may be used. The data are derived from the production processes of gears, flow meters, cable accessories, couplings, drill bits, butterfly valves, crystallizers, and other electromechanical equipment components.
Activity Description
The dataset includes inputs of metal materials, direct electricity consumption of machinery, water consumption, and metal waste removed through drilling, which is typically collected and reused.
Process Description
This process refers to the action of removing 1 kg of steel using a drilling machining process. If the weight of metal removed in the drilling process is not specified, an average assumption of "0.0680 kg of steel scrap generated per 1 kg of final product" can be used.

Technology comment
The machining method of creating holes in solid materials using a drill bit is called drilling. Drilling is typically performed on drilling machines or lathes, but can also be carried out on boring machines or milling machines. Drilling machines are the primary equipment used for drilling operations. On drilling machines, holes are mainly made using drill bits. When drilling on a lathe, the workpiece rotates while the tool performs the feed motion. In contrast, during drilling on a drilling machine, the workpiece remains stationary, while the tool performs the rotational cutting motion along with axial movement for the feed motion.
