The drilling process is the most essential in the final assembly of the mechanical parts. Natural fiber based composites replace traditional materials due to their advantages, such as strength to weight ratio, availability, and environmental hazards. In this work, an attempt has been made to find the minimum thrust force produced by the drill tool at specified drilling process parameters. The drilling process parameters used for the investigation are rotational speed, tool feed, and resins. The spindle speed and feed rate are selected with three levels. Three resin materials were used, namely, epoxy, polyester, and vinyl ester. Taguchi’s L27 orthogonal array was implemented. The result shows that the candlestick drill bit generated lesser thrust force at the specified drilling process parameters, followed by the twist and step cone drill bits.

For comparison, the drilling behaviour of abaca fiber-reinforced polymer (AFRP) composites and Kevlar-reinforced epoxy polymer (KFRP) composites has been studied in the specified experimental condition. The different geometrical drilling tools have been used for the investigation, namely, candlestick (T1), core (T2), standard twist drill (T3), and step cone (T4). The tool feed of 30, 45, and 60 m/min and rotational speed of 1000, 1500, and 2000 rpm have been used for the investigation. The thrust force is chosen as a response parameter for this study. The results revealed that, at lesser rotational speed and tool feed, the thrust force has declined. The result obtained correlates with the abaca fiber-based systems. However, the thrust force of KFRP is higher compared to AFRP composite systems. The axial force generated by candlestick drill is minimal compared to the other drill bits. The following may be responsible for lower thrust force: (1) the axial force distributes circumferential of the cutting tool instead of focusing at the center and (2) the interfacial adhesiveness between the matrix and the fiber is higher. The optimization of drilling process parameters, namely, tool feed and rotational speed on thrust force, has been studied. The results reveal that the tool feed contributed more to axial force compared to rotational speed.

Supported holes of Printed circuit board (PCB) are drilled with two different drill bits. Drilling force (thrust force and torque) and chip morphology are examined at different cutting parameters, and the effects of the two drills are discussed. The results indicate that the drilling force and chip morphology are affected by the feed rate, spindle speed and drill shape. Thrust force increases with the increasing feed rate, and decreases with the increasing spindle speed. Optimization of drill geometry can reduce the thrust force significantly, and is effective in chip breaking which can improve the chip evacuation during the drilling process.

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP)-stainless steel stacks used in the aircraft structural components. The assembly process of this components requires mechanical joining using bolt and nut. The drilling process is commonly used for producing hole to position the bolt correctly. Thrust force and torque are responses that used to evaluate the performance of drilling process. The quality characteristic of these responses are “smaller-is-better.” The aim of this experiment is to identify the combination of process parameters for achieving required multiple performance characteristics in drilling process of GFRP-stainless steel stacks materials. The three important process parameters, i.e., point angle, spindle speed, and feed rate were used as input parameters. Point angle was set at two different levels, whilethe other two were set at three different levels. Hence, a 2 x 3 x 3 full factorial was used as designexperiments. The experiments were replicated two times. The optimization was conducted by using genetic algorithm method. The minimum thrust force and torque could be obtained by using point angle, spindle speed and feed rate of 118o, 2383 rpm, 62 mm/min respectively.

As the exploration and drilling of oil, natural gas and geothermal wells are expanding continuously, research into high-efficiency rock drilling technology is imperative. High-voltage electro pulse boring (EPB) has the advantages of high rock breaking efficiency and good wall quality, and is a new and efficient potential method of rock breaking. The design of electrode drill bits and the selection of drilling process parameters are the main obstacles restricting the commercialization of EPB. Accordingly, it is necessary to determine the influences on high-voltage EPB. In this study, based on the equivalent circuit of high-voltage electro pulse breakdown, a mathematical model of high-voltage electro pulse discharge in rock is established. Meanwhile, a numerical simulation model of high-voltage EPB of hard granite is established based on a coaxial cylindrical electrode structure, which is often used for electrode drill bits. The simulation analysis software Comsol Multiphysics (Comsol Multiphysics®5.3a, COMSOL Co., Ltd., Stockholm, Sweden) is used to study the influences of granite composition, electrode spacing and electrode shape on the high-voltage EPB process. In addition, the influences of electrical parameters on high-voltage EPB are calculated according to a model of high-voltage electro pulse discharge in rock. Finally, it is demonstrated that high-voltage EPB is influenced by granite composition, electrical parameters, electrode spacing, and electrode shape, and the relationships between these factors are obtained. This study is of guiding significance for improving rock breaking efficiency, reducing energy loss, designing electrode drill bits and selecting drilling process parameters.

This paper presents an investigation on the influence of the drilling parameters such as feed rate, spindle speed and drill tool diameter onto the delamination factor of the jute reinforced unsaturated polyester composite. Natural fibre based composite are mostly used for commodity application and often subjected to drilling during applications and may generate delamination of drilled holes on the workpiece. The composite was fabricated using woven jute fibre via vacuum bagging method followed a high temperature curing using hot press. The fibre was kept at 40 vol. %. The main effect and the interaction between the specified factors of feed rate (20-100mm/min), spindle speed (500-1500 rpm) and drill tool diameter (4-8 mm) with delamination factor as corresponding respond was structured via the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) based on three-level Box-Behnken design of experiment and the ANOVA. The levels of importance of the process parameters on flexural properties are determined by using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The optimised drilling process parameters obtained as 24.38 mm/min of feed rate, 1146.14 rpm of spindle speed and 5.51 mm drill tool diameter achieved the most minimal delamination factor. The feed rate and spindle speed were perceived as the most influential drilling parameters on the delamination factor of the jute reinforced unsaturated polyester composite.

Common fiber composite overlays are attractive for a few applications, (for example, aviation and flying machine auxiliary parts) because of their predominant properties and bio-degradable. Typically, mechanical drilling process parameters are significant effect final machining process outcomes. It covers drilling performance like convectional drilling, grinding, vibration-influence twist drilling, and rapid boring, drilling apparatus geometry and materials, drilling actuated delamination and its smothering methodologies, thrust power, and wear rate. This paper aimed to address the effect and ranking of process parameters on trust force, torque, and delamination at both entry and exit of the hole sisal fabric herringbone reinforced epoxy composites. The herringbone woven sisal fabric reinforced epoxy composite is fabricated using conventional compression molding technique. The result shows that at higher speed and feed rate delamination at both entrance and exit, thrust force, and toque decreases. Optimum drill diameter found from 6 to 10 mm to obtain minimum responses. As four output parameters are deciding quality of drilled hole, further grey regression analysis is used to study the ranking of output responses. Form grey regression analysis it is found that for 2700 rpm spindle speed, 60 mm/min feed and 8 mm diameter exhibit minimum effort.

. In this study, the prediction models of thrust force, tool wear and torque in drilling nickel-based alloy GH536 are developed based genetic algorithm and drilling experiments. Tool wear value is used as constraint condition and maximum cutting efficiency as goal to optimize drilling process parameters. In addition, the relationship between tool life and cutting efficiency is analyzed by exploiting the tool wear prediction model. The results of the analysis show that under the condition of efficiency remains unchanged, the tool life can be increased by increasing drilling speed and appropriately reducing feed rate, these results are consistent with the optimized process parameters.
