Our objective is to study the behavior of the material with the use of friction drilling by variation of thickness, Spindle speed, and feed rate. The friction between a rapid rotating conical tool and a sheet metal workpiece generates heat to soften and displace the metal to form a whole. Friction drilling is a non-traditional hole-making process in which a conical rotating tool is applied to penetrate the workpiece and make the outlet in a single step, without generating chips. the process relies on the heat generated thanks to the resistance force between tool and workpiece, to soften, penetrate and deform the work material into a bushing shape. Generally, friction drilling is applied to thin-walled materials owing to increasing connection length and clamping strength. The generated resistance heat cause softening piece of work material, increase its ductility, and providing it to flow, that extruded onto both the front and back sides of the holes. Keywords: Friction Drilling, Conical Tool, Material Displace, Temperature, Hardness & Thickness.

This paper summarizes the research on friction drilling, a chipless hole making process using the rotating conical tool. Extensive research in experiment, modeling, tool wear, and metallurgical analysis of friction drilling tool and workpiece has been carried out to demonstrate the feasibility of this technology for hole-making in thin metals. The experimentally measured thrust force and torque were analyzed and compared with analytical and finite element modeling results for validation. The microstructures and indentation hardness were characterized on the cross-section of friction drilled holes for different work-materials. For brittle cast metals, effects of workpiece temperature, spindle speed, and feed rate were analyzed. The wear of a tool, which is made of hard carbide material, for friction drilling of carbon steel workpiece, was also studied to demonstrate the capability of a durable tool in the production environment.

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.

Drilling experiments of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V were conducted. Taking the speed and feed as the process variables, a set of experimental cutting forces are obtained and compared. From the experimental results it is concluded that within the experimental extent the thrust force and torque of drilling process rises with the feed rate. The lower spindle speed resulted in the greater amount of thrust. Feed rates have greater influence on the thrust force than the spindle speed. The combination of greater feed rate and lower spindle speed results in the maximum amount of thrust. However, combination of greater feed rate and spindle speed resulted in maximum amount of torque.

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.

Friction drilling is a nontraditional hole-making process. A rotating conical tool is applied to penetrate a hole and create a bushing in a single step without generating chips. Friction drilling relies on the heat generated from the frictional force between the tool and sheet metal workpiece to soften, penetrate, and deform the work-material into a bushing shape. The mechanical and thermal aspects of friction drilling are studied in this research. Under the constant tool feed rate, the experimentally measured thrust force and torque were analyzed. An infrared camera is applied to measure the temperature of the tool and workpiece. Two models are developed for friction drilling. One is the thermal finite element model to predict the distance of tool travel before the workpiece reaches the 250°C threshold temperature that is detectable by an infrared camera. Another is a force model to predict the thrust force and torque in friction drilling based on the measured temperature, material properties, and estimated area of contact. The results of this study are used to identify research needs and build the foundation for future friction drilling process optimization.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) composite laminates are widely used in aerospace and aircraft structural components due to their superior properties. However, they are regarded as difficult-to-cut materials because of bad surface quality and low productivity. Drilling is the most common hole making process for CFRP composite laminates and drilling induced delamination damage usually occurs severely at the exit side of drilling holes, which strongly deteriorate holes quality. In this work, the candle stick drill and multi-facet drill are employed to evaluate the machinability of drilling T700/LT-03A CFRP composite laminates in terms of thrust force, delamination, holes diameter and holes surface roughness. S/N ratio is used to characterize the thrust force while an ellipse-shaped delamination model is established to quantitatively analyze the delamination. The best combination of drilling parameters are determined by full consideration of S/N ratios of thrust force and the delamination. The results indicate that candle stick drill will induce the unexpected ellipse-shaped delamination even at its best drilling parameters of spindle speed of 10,000 rpm and feed rate of 0.004 mm/tooth. However, the multi-facet drill cutting at the relative lower feed rate of 0.004 mm/tooth and lower spindle speed of 6000 rpm can effectively prevent the delamination. Comprehensively, holes quality obtained by multi-facet drill is much more superior to those obtained by candle stick drill.

Due to its excellent performance, carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) have been widely applied in industrial applications. The phenomenon of delamination can readily occur when drilling CFRP composites, which affects the quality of drilling holes. To effectively control the generation of processing defects, this paper focused on the analysis of the thrust force and the delamination factor. The delamination analysis was performed using graphs of the spindle speed, feed rate and drill diameter as independent parameters. The results suggest that there was a positive correlation between the delamination factor Fd and the thrust force Fz. The delamination factor decreases with increases in the spindle speed and increases with increases in the feed rate or with increases in the drill diameter. Based on the experimental data, this paper established a formula model of the delamination factor Fd, which would promote the further study of drilling CFRP composites.

This work is focused on the investigation of the influence of the materials of PCB, feed rate, spindle speed and tool wear on thrust force when drilling PCB using 0.3 mm diameter cemented tungsten carbide drills. The results indicate that thrust force increases with feed rate and drill wear, but decreases with spindle speed firstly and then increases with it within the cutting range tested. Thrust force caused by the copper foil is much larger than that caused by the epoxy glass fiber cloth when feed rate is low. However, the difference between them decreases as feed rate increases. The thickness of nail head increases with thrust force. The accuracy of hole location increases with thrust force firstly but decreases afterward. The influence of thrust force on hole wall roughness is not obvious.

Medium density fiberboard (MDF) is an engineered wood generally used in wooden industries. Drilling is the most frequently used machining operation in the assembly of furniture working. During drilling cutting forces are developed. These cutting forces are affecting the surface qualities and also causes delamination damage. The cutting conditions and the process parameters play an important role in controlling the cutting forces. The objective of this work is to study the influence of cutting parameters such as spindle speed, feed rate and point angle to reduce the cutting forces developed during drilling. Drilling tests are conducted using Taguchi design of experiments. The mathematical model is developed using response surface methodology (RSM) to evaluate the influence of spindle speed, feed rate and point angle on thrust force. It is seen that high spindle speed with low feed rate combination gives better results in drilling of MDF panels.
