Investigation of Influence of Drill Geometry and Thrust Force During Drilling of Aluminium 2014 Alloy on Burr Formation Through Design of Experiments and Nueral Network
Abstract Drilling is a hole making process on machine components at the time of assembly work, which were identify everywhere. In precise applications quality and accuracy play wide role. Now a day’s industries are suffered by cost incurred during deburring, especially in precise assemblies such as aerospace/aircraft body structures, marine works and automobile industries. Burrs produced during drilling causes dimensional errors, jamming of parts and misalignment. Therefore, deburring operation after drilling is often required. Now, reducing burr size is a burning topic. In this study experiments are conducted by choosing various input parameters selected from previous researchers. Effect of alteration of drill geometry on thrust force and burr size of drilled hole investigated as per taguchi design of experiments and found optimum combination of most significant input parameters from ANOVA to get optimum reduction in burr size by design expert software. Drill thrust influences more on burr size, clearance angle of drill bit causes variation in thrust, burr height observed in this study. Compare these output results with neural network software @easy NN plus. Finally, concluded that increasing the number of nodes increases the computational cost and decreases the error in nueral network. Good agreement was shown between the predictive model results and the experimental responses.
