AbstractIn this paper, a connection between vibration amplitude and tool wear when drilling of IS3048 steel utilizing different dimensioned tools is dissected through tests. Discriminant features, which are sensitive to drill wear and breakage, were developed. These were discovered to be somewhat impervious toward sensor location and cutting conditions. In the process, the vibration amplitude features a checking highlight dependent on ascertaining both the tools and their performance over vibrations, which was discovered to be somewhat powerful for on-line identification of drill tool breakage in both frequency and time domains. These vibrational amplitude signal features are directly affected, related to the tool geometry, which give higher chances of tool selection criteria during the drilling process. The experiments were carried out using solid carbide tool with change in tool geometry under dry conditions where the vibration amplitude for both is evaluated. The results revealed that cutting tool vibrational amplitude and tool wear were relatively dependent showing the tool selection of suitable tool geometry.

Abstract In this paper, the tool wear mechanism in low-frequency vibration-assisted drilling (LF-VAD) of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP)/Ti6Al4V stacks has been proposed using variably machining parameters. Based on the kinematics analysis, the effect of vibration amplitude on the chip formation, uncut chip thickness, chip radian, and axial velocity was presented. Subsequently, the effect of LF-VAD on the cutting temperature, tool wear, delamination, and geometrical accuracy was presented for different vibration amplitude. The LF-VAD with the utilization of minimum quantity lubricant (MQL) resulted in a successful drilling process of 50 holes, with a 63 % reduction of the cutting temperature. For the rake face, LF-VAD reduced the adhered height of Ti6Al4V by 80 % at low cutting speed and reduced the crater depth by 33 % at the high cutting speed. On the other hand, LF-VAD reduced the flank wear land by 53 %. Furthermore, LF-VAD showed a significant enhancement on the CFRP delamination, geometrical accuracy, and burr formation.

AbstractThe tool geometry is generally of great significance in metal cutting performance. The response surface method was used to optimize chamfer geometry to achieve reliable and minimum tool wear in slot milling. Models were developed for edge chipping, rake wear, and flank wear. The adequacy of the models was verified using analysis of variance at a 95% confidence level. Each response was optimized individually, and the multiple responses were optimized simultaneously using the desirability function approach. The Monte Carlo simulation method was applied to tolerance analysis. All milling tests were conducted at dry conditions; the chamfer width and the chamfer angle varied between 0.1 and 0.3 mm, and 10 and 30°, respectively. Optimal chamfer geometry for minimizing chipping and rake wear was small chamfer width and chamfer angle. The flank wear reached the minimum value for the tool with 0.18 mm chamfer width and 10° chamfer angle. The obtained composite model predicted good edge strength and minimum overall wear when the chamfer was 0.1 mm wide at a 10° angle. Thermal cracks were observed on the tools. They were small on the edges with the finest and least negative chamfer but were more significant on the more negative and greater chamfer. A great chamfer width and chamfer angle also resulted in insufficient chip evacuation. The results show how the edge geometry affects the tool’s reliability and wear and may help manufacturers minimize tool cost and downtime.

In this study, the relationship between vibration and tool wear and also influence of sensor positioning in tool codition monitoring were investigated during drilling. For this purpose, a series of experiment were conducted in a CNC vertical milling machine using drilling cycle. A 6 mm diameter HSS drill and EN24 as workpiece material were used in these experiments. The vibration was measured in the transverse direction of sensor which is positioned on the workpiece with constant distance from the holes to be drilled for monitoring tool wear as in previous studies. But, positioning of sensor in a constant place with equal distance from all holes to be drilled is not possible for all the workpiece profiles in actual practice. Experiments show that the distance of sensor from the holes in drilling affects the vibration signals for the same state of wear.It shows that the tool wear models presented in previous studies using acceleration signals are sensor location dependent. This work presents a Variance-amplitude of the vibration signals received for tool condition monitoring which is the most sensitive statistical parameter than other statistical parameters such as Root Mean Square (RMS), Exponential, Peak, max-min, mean and standard deviation. Results showed that there was no considerable increase in the vibration amplitude of variance until flank wear value of 0.30 mm was reached, above which the vibration amplitude increased significantly.

Geometrical tolerances play a very important role in the functionality and assembly of parts made of light alloys for aeronautical applications. These parts are frequently machined in dry conditions. Under these conditions, the tool wear becomes one of the most important variables that influence geometrical tolerances. In this work, the influence of tool wear on roundness, straightness and cylindricity of dry-turned UNS A97075 alloy has been analyzed. The tool wear and form deviations evolution as a function of the cutting parameters and the cutting time has been assessed. In addition, the predominant tool wear mechanisms have been checked. The experimental results revealed that the indirect adhesion wear (BUL and BUE) was the main tool-wear mechanism, with the feed being the most influential cutting parameter. The combination of high feed and low cutting speed values resulted in the highest tool wear. The analyzed form deviations showed a general trend to increase with both cutting parameters. The tool wear and the form deviations tend to increase with the cutting time only within the intermediate range of feed tested. As the main novelty, a relationship between the cutting parameters, the cutting time (and, indirectly, the tool wear) and the analyzed form deviations has been found.

Drilling is an important machining process in various manufacturing industries. High-quality holes are possible with the proper selection of tools and cutting parameters. This study investigates the effect of spindle speed, feed rate, and drill diameter on the generated thrust force, the formation of chips, post-machining tool condition, and hole quality. The hole surface defects and the top and bottom edge conditions were also investigated using scan electron microscopy. The drilling tests were carried out on AA2024-T3 alloy under a dry drilling environment using 6 and 10 mm uncoated carbide tools. Analysis of Variance was employed to further evaluate the influence of the input parameters on the analysed outputs. The results show that the thrust force was highly influenced by feed rate and drill size. The high spindle speed resulted in higher surface roughness, while the increase in the feed rate produced more burrs around the edges of the holes. Additionally, the burrs formed at the exit side of holes were larger than those formed at the entry side. The high drill size resulted in greater chip thickness and an increased built-up edge on the cutting tools.

A model of the dynamic drill characteristics while drilling through fibre-reinforced composite materials (FRCMs) is investigated in this study. Anisotropic and inhomogeneous materials such as FRCMs, which are used to improve product quality, make it possible to improve production rate and avoid drill breakage. Such materials were used to study the dynamic characteristics of the drilling process. A theoretical analysis model for drilling composite materials is proposed. A pre-twisted beam is used to simulate the drill. A moving Winkler-type elastic foundation is used to approximate the drilling process time-dependent boundary. Numerical analysis indicates that the vibration amplitude changes significantly as the drill moves through composite material.

Abstract The five-axis constrained and optimal orientation planning is formulated as a design optimization problem that incorporates the process machine’s kinematic constraints with the workpiece and tool geometry, to obtain a constrained setup orientation which exploits the maximum capabilities of existing machines. This work will introduce this problem, and will obtain the setup orientation for two different types of rotation structures, i.e., tool rotation and table rotation in O(N) time. Further, the obtained constrained setup orientation, will be augmented to incorporate the workpiece surface magnitude, along with different machine rotation structures, to obtain an optimal setup orientation for different machine rotation structures. The drilling process is also introduced and formulated as additional constraints to the optimization problem. The primary application of the introduced algorithms, is the machining process, where, they can efficiently reduce the number of tool motions and surface finishing processes. However, the solution is very suitable for many manufacturing applications, such as inspection, assembly, robotics, painting, welding, aerospace, electronic surface mount technology, and etc.

Abstract Experimental and theoretical research data was utilized in building a Fuzzy Logic Controller model applied to simulate the drilling process of composite materials. The objective is to have a better understanding and control of delamination of composites during the drilling process and at the same time to improve the hole finish by controlling fraying and splintering. By controlling the main issues in the drilling process such as feed rate, cutting speed, thrust force, and torque generated in addition to the tool geometry, it is possible to optimize the drilling process avoiding the conventionally encountered problems.
