One of the most important tasks in the production of carbon fiber products is to ensure the specified accuracy and quality of the drilled holes. A model for predicting the thrust force, taking into account the degree of tool wear, is proposed. First, the geometric characteristics of the wear of the spiral drill tool are analyzed. Further, the contact conditions between the drill and the carbon fiber are determined in accordance with the geometric characteristics of the tool wear. Based on the mechanics of the contact interaction of surfaces, the thrust forces of the main cutting edges and the chisel edge are modeled, taking into account the degree of tool wear. The results obtained are integrated into the thrust force prediction model. An example of an experimental study of the drilling carbon fiber is given. The results obtained show a fairly accurate prediction of the cutting force, taking into account the wear of the cutting tool.

Drill point angle of twist drill has a significant effect on thrust force and delamination factor on drilled holes in fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. In this study, three drill point angle of twist drill; 85°, 118° and 135° were used to drill holes in hybrid fiber reinforced polymeric composite (HFRP). HFRP composites were fabricated using vacuum infusion molding (VIM) technique. The test samples were cured at 90°C for two hours. In drilling process various drill point angle and feed rate were employed to investigate the effect of both parameters on thrust force and delamination factor when drilling the HFRP composite. The results showed that small drill point angle and low feed rate can reduce the thrust force leading to the reduction of damage factor at the holes entrance and exit.

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of surface characteristics and drilling performance of uncoated and coated tungsten carbide drills. The single- and double-layer coatings of TiN, TiAlN and AlCrN were examined in terms of surface roughness, microhardness and crack resistance. In addition, drilling torque and thrust force were experimentally measured and compared to the developed models based on the drilling mechanics and drill geometries. Tool wear and hole surface roughness were also considered to assess the machining performance of different coated tools. The results revealed that all coated drills can offer better cut surface quality, 28% lower cutting loads and longer tool life than the uncoated drills. Although AlCrN was found to be the hardest coating material among the others, it caused large wear on the cutting edges and poor surface roughness of produced holes. The lowest torque and thrust force were achievable using TiN-coated drill, while the use of TiAlN coating resulted in the lowest surface roughness and smallest tool wear. Furthermore, the drilling torque and thrust force model developed in this study were found to correspond to the experimental measures with the average error of 8.4%. The findings of this work could facilitate the selection of coating materials to advance the machining performance.

Abstract Titanium alloy is a typical hard-to-machine material, and has a relatively expensive material price. For deep-hole tubes made of titanium alloys, the material utilization rate of direct deep-hole drilling is relatively low, especially for large diameter holes. Deep-hole trepanning provides an effective method that reduces manufacturing cost and improves the material utilization which is used on larger diameter bars. In this paper, deep-hole trepanning tests are carried out on the TC10 titanium alloys to resolve the key technical problems. The thrust force and torque, tool wear, and chip morphology are analyzed based on the different process parameters. The results show that appropriate process parameters can remove the chips easily and reduce the thrust force and tool wear. The titanium alloy deep-hole trepanning has a good drilling effect and solves the problem of drilling deep, large diameter holes in titanium alloy tubes, which has practical significance for reducing production cost and improving material utilization.

Fiber-reinforced plastic is one of the top priorities lightweight materials with excellent mechanical properties for the aerospace industries in recent years. However, it is difficult to machine despite having unique properties due to its non-homogeneous and abrasive nature in alternate fiber and matrix layers. Thus, it is found to be a challenging task to drill hole on such hard-to-machine materials, which is highly essential for the development of most of the engineering structural components. The present work addresses various drilling-induced defects such as delamination, circularity error, and roughness variations in the hole surface during drilling of quasi-isotropic cross-fiber oriented bi-directional woven-type carbon fiber reinforced plastic laminate using a full factorial design of experiments for different drill geometry. The response surface methodology was considered for the regression model development, which was found to be highly significant. The machining forces with associated torque have also been acquired during drilling, which was divided and further analyzed in time domain to correlate with drilling flaws. The drilling-induced delamination was found to be higher at a high feed rate using a higher drill point angle due to substantial thrust force generation at the initial stages in the drilling cycle. However, the internal surface finish with associated circularity error was reduced for higher spindle speed with less feed rate using a low drill point angle because of low torque fluctuation at the final drilling phases. The axial thrust force was found to be a prime indicator of drilled hole surface delamination, whereas drilling torque precisely indicated internal surface roughness as well as circularity error. The global root mean square, along with a local peak of thrust and torque, both were highly essential to completely characterize the drilled hole quality.

The thermal conductivity of carbon fiber reinforced polymer(CFRP) and titanium alloy is lower which caused the increasing of drilling temperature and larger tool wear resistance. The low temperature air is aided for the drilling of laminated stack board of CFRP/Ti with double apex angles carbide drill at different feed rate. The drilling force and the quality of hole are analyzed. The results showed that the low temperature air can reduce the tool wear and the thrust force effectively.

The chip slenderness ratio is a vital parameter in theoretical and applicable machining operations. In predrilled drilling operations of AISI 1050 steel alloy, HSS drills were employed, and the effect of the selected parameters on the chip slenderness ratio and also the effect of the chip slenderness ratio on the thrust force, surface roughness, drilled hole delamination, tool wear, and chip morphology were investigated. The major parameters, influential on the chip slenderness ratio, were feed rate and point angle, while spindle speed was too small to be negligible. With increasing the chip slenderness ratio, the thrust force and the tool wear decreased, which resulted in appropriate chip morphology, but there were increases in surface roughness. However, the chip slenderness ratio had no effect on the drilled hole delamination.

AbstractIn the present work, an attempt has been made to investigate the drilling behavior of the titanium dioxide (TiO2)- and zinc sulfide (ZnS)-filled glass fabric-reinforced polymer (GFRP) matrix composites. The volume fractions in the matrix were chosen as 1%, 2%, and 3%. Drilling has been conducted on CNC Vertical Machining Center. Speed and feed of drilling and drill tool geometry were considered as the varying parameters with three levels. Thrust force, delamination factor, and surface roughness have been considered as the output parameters and measured in each combination of parameters chosen. Results reveal that the addition of filler will increase the thrust force developed during drilling and indicate that drill point angle has a direct effect on the thrust value. Delamination factor increases with increase in feed and decreases as speed increases. Also, it can be observed that surface roughness decreases with increase in speed and increases with increase in feed. ZnS-filled composite shows less damage than TiO2.

Abstract As the most promising CFRP hole making method, orbital drilling is widely concerned. This paper aims to understand the influence of the cutting parameters, tool diameters and ratio between milling and drilling (Rm&d) on thrust force, cutting temperature, tool wear and machining quality in CFRP orbital drilling. The effects of cutting parameters on thrust force and cutting temperature were studied by orthogonal experiments, and experiments were performed to investigate the variations of tool diameters, ratio between drilling and milling on thrust force, cutting temperature, tool wear and machining quality. The experimental results show that the tangential feed rate has no apparent effects on thrust force, but it appreciably impacts on the cutting temperature. The selection of tool diameter and the Rm&d has specific influence on tool wear, machining quality and cutting temperature. The result is helpful for selecting cutting parameters and tool diameters for high quality holes machining in CFRP orbital drilling.

The difficulties of machining nickel-titanium alloys are due to their high ductility and super-elasticity, strong strain-hardening, and excellent wear resistance. These characteristics lead to poor chip breakability, high cutting forces, rapid and aggressive tool-wear, as well as excessive burr formation during mechanical machining processes. The present study addresses these issues by evaluating the effects of drilling parameters and drill bit coatings on the growth of tool wear and development of the drilling thrust force. The findings from this research indicate that the TiAlN coated carbide drill was found to significantly improve the wear resistance of the cutting tool. Likewise, the results of thrust force development are consistent with the trends of tool wear growth for all of the tested carbide drills.
