AbstractSurface roughness and heat-affected zone (HAZ) are the important features which influence the performance of the laser-drilled products. Understanding the influence of laser process parameters on these responses and identifying the cutting conditions for simultaneous optimization of these responses are a primary requirement in order to improve the laser drilling performance. Nevertheless, no such contribution has been made in the literature during laser drilling of AISI 303 material. The aim of the present work is to optimize the surface roughness (Ra) and HAZ in fibre laser drilling of AISI 303 material using Taguchi-based grey relational analysis (GRA). From the GRA methodology, the recommended optimum combination of process parameters is flushing pressure at 30 Pa, laser power at 2000 W and pulse frequency at 1500 Hz for simultaneous optimization of Ra and HAZ, respectively. From analysis of variance, the pulse frequency is identified as the most influenced process parameters on laser drilling process performance.

In sheet metal processes the burrs cannot be completely eliminated during the process but can be minimized by optimization of the process parameters. Hence the deburring often becomes an essential secondary operation. Most of the deburring operations are hand-made and therefore several manufacturers tend to eliminate these tedious and labor-intensive operations due to time and cost issues. Moreover, clamping problems can arise which, together with the deburring forces, can induce dimension alterations and local deformations, particularly for thin sheets. Barrel finishing is an old technique commonly used to improve the surface roughness of complicated parts, but can find interesting applications also in the deburring. Aim of this work is to present an experimental investigation on the deburring of sheet metal performed by barreling. A technological model has been developed in order to assess the height of the burr as a function of the initial burr and of the working time.

Drilling is an essential secondary process for near net-shape of hybrid composite as to achieve the required dimensional tolerances prior to final application. Dimensional tolerance is often influenced by the surface integrity or surface roughness of the workpart. Thus, this paper aims to employ the Taguchi and response surface methodologies in minimizing the surface roughness of drilled carbon-glass hybrid fibre reinforced polymer (CGCG) using tungsten carbide, K20 drill bits. The effects of spindle speed, feed rate and tool geometry on surface roughness were evaluated and optimum cutting conditions for minimizing the aforementioned response was determined. Subsequently, response surface methodology (RSM) was utilised in finding the empirical relationships between experimental parameters and surface roughness based on the Taguchi results. The experimental analyses reveal that surface roughness is greatly influenced by feed rate and tool geometry rather than the spindle speed. This is due to the increment of feed that attributed to the increased strain rate and hence, deteriorated the surface roughness of the hybrid composite. The predicted results (via regression model) and theoretical results (via additivity law) were in good agreement with experiment results. This indicates that the regression model from response surface methodology (RSM) can be used to predict the surface roughness in machining of CGCG hybrid composite.

Presently a-days precision manufacturing has picked up its significance in all assembling industries. The best product dimensions at low cost with minimum time become a measure of concern. The drilling process imparts more than 30% of all the metal removing operations done on a job or assembly. The burr is a plastically deformed material, generated during drilling is unnecessary output and reduces the product acceptability, often lowers the surface quality of the product requires deburring which increases the cost of product. Burr is caused due to improper machining, tooling and environmental parameters. Total elimination of burrs during drilling process is a difficult task but using proper process parameters it can be minimized. In the present experimental study, the optimization of process parameters for minimization of burr formation in drilling process has been carried out for Al6082 plate. The tool type (coated/uncoated), spindle speed, feed rate, and drill diameters were used as the process parameters. Taguchi’s L18 orthogonal has been applied for DOE and drilling of Al6082 plates has been performed using ply-board as a backup support and without using any backup support on CNC drilling machine. The burr height and surface roughness were analyzed and optimized using S/N ratio and ANOVA and the optimum combinations for burr height and surface roughness has been found from S/N plots. The most influencing factors for burr height and surface roughness have been found from ANOVA tables.

The Carbon-Carbon composites are nothing but the composites, in which Carbon Fibres are reinforced into a Carbon Matrix. The usage of Carbon-Carbon composite materials is gaining the significant position in the fabrication of Missiles, Space Shuttles and other advanced structures. These materials are primarily expensive in nature, and the drilling cost of these materials will increase the manufacturing cost of the final product. Hence care should be taken in drilling of these materials. The cutting process parameters should be chosen carefully to minimize the damage and improve the quality of the hole drilled. Surface roughness is the most serious problem in the drilling process of Carbon-Carbon composites. This paper discusses the comprehensive analysis of surface finish and the influence of various process parameters as spindle speed, feed rate and drill bit point angle on the surface finish of the drilled holes. These experiments were carried out on a CNC drilling machine at Anna university campus, Chennai, India. The drilling of Carbon-Carbon composite material has been done by using three different drill bit materials i.e. TiN coated carbide, Solid carbide and High Speed Steel tools with three different point angles. The Analysis of variance technique is used to study the significance of each process parameter on the performance characteristic surface roughness. A L27orthogonal array is employed to study the influence of process parameters. This paper also presents the comparison of the surface roughness values of drilled holes obtained by using the three different tool materials.
