A drill processing for the difficult to cut material such as ceramics, hardened steel, glass and heat-resistant steel is widely requested in the industrial world. Furthermore the drilling process becomes more and more difficult in the case of that the requested hole diameter is less than one millimeter. In order to achieve requirements for drilling process, ultrasonically assisted machining is applicable. Ultrasonic vibration assisted machining techniques are suitable to machine difficult-to-cut materials precisely. The ultrasonic vibration assisted sub-millimeter drilling process reduces the cutting forces and prevents severe wear of tools. However, it is difficult to observe directly the effect of vibration action because the process of ultrasonic drilling is dynamic instantaneous and micro cutting process. In this report, high speed camera with appropriately arranged polarized device realized the visualization of process of ultrasonic drilling based on the photoelastic analysis. For the conventional drilling, the stress distribution diagram showed the intensive stress occurred under the chisel and side wall. On the other hand, the ultrasonic drilling produced lower and stable cutting force and decreased the tool temperature.

In order to achieve the requirements for the drilling process, ultrasonically assisted machining is applicable. Ultrasonic vibration assisted machining techniques are suitable for machining difficult-to-cut materials precisely. However, the cutting process of ultrasonic drilling has not been clarified. It is difficult to observe directly the effect of vibration. The aim of this study is to observe the dynamic, instantaneous and micro cutting process. In this report, a high-speed camera with a polarized device, which is appropriately arranged, realized the visualization of the process of ultrasonic drilling based on photoelastic analysis. For conventional drilling, the stress distribution diagram showed that the intensive stress occurred in limited areas under the chisel because the chisel edge of the drill produces large plastic deformation. On the other hand, the ultrasonic drilling produced spread stress distribution and a stress boundary far away from the chisel. The photoelastic analysis showed the explicit difference of drilling processes.

In recent years, particle reinforced metal matrix composites (PRMMCs)has been widely applied because of its excellent mechanical performances. But the machining is very difficult due to the rigidity of reinforced phase in it, thus the popularization of PRMMCs is restricted much. Here, a method of ultrasonic vibration drilling is presented to the hole-making of Aluminum-matrix composites based on cutting force analysis between common and vibration machining. In virtue of the self-developed ultrasonic drilling equipment, experiments of common and ultrasonic vibration drilling are performed on SiC particle reinforced Aluminum-matrix composites with different content of SiC by using two types of tungsten carbide twist drill. Since the tool life can be represented directly by drilling force, especially the torque, the study of drilling force is very important for the surface roughness, the design and life of drill. Drilling force and its variation in the machining process are analyzed by comparison of common and vibration drilling. It shows that the eviction of drilling chips can be meliorated to some extent, and the drilling torque can be reduced about 30% during the ultrasonic vibration drilling process.

With the rapid development of aviation at home, particle reinforced metal matrix composites (PRMMCs) has been widely applied recently. But at the same time, the difficult machining has gradually been one of the most outstanding bottle-necks that restrict the rapid enhancement of productivity. Here, in virtue of the self-developed ultrasonic drilling equipment, hole-making experiments of common and ultrasonic vibration drilling are performed on SiC particle reinforced aluminum-matrix composites (SiCp/Al)with different content of SiC by using two types of tungsten carbide drill. Drilling characteristics of machining composites with ultrasonic vibration are analyzed from such respects as the composites crush, drilling force, drill wear and hole surface quality. Studies show that, during the ultrasonic vibration drilling process, SiC particle in the composites is prone to break along the crystal connection boundary or suffer ductile fracture under the dynamic ultrasonic impulse, in which the cutting resistance could be reduced and the tool edge could be protected. Thereby, drilling locating precision and hole surface quality could be enhanced, wear of the drill chisel edge effectively improved, and the drilling torque reduced about 30%.

When difficult-to-machine materials are drilled, chips are produced, and these chips are difficult to control during the drilling process. Due to the limitations of conventional drilling, materials are drilled by ultrasonic-vibration-assisted technology. In this paper, the kinematics of ultrasonic-vibration-assisted drilling are first analyzed and the relevant equations are established. The characteristic thicknesses of chips are then studied, and the drilling paths for different phases and thicknesses of the chips are analyzed. The condition of complete geometric chipbreaking in the ultrasonic-vibration-assisted drilling process is examined, and a regional map of chipbreaking is presented, which in theory allows chips to be controlled. Chips produced in ultrasonic-vibration-assisted drilling with different parameters are compared in a series of experiments. The chipbreaking condition is studied in more detail, and the chips produced by drilling difficult-to-machine materials are effectively controlled. Furthermore, the results of this study show that a reasonable selection of parametric variables in ultrasonic-vibration-assisted drilling results in thin and smooth chips, less tool wear, and superior surface roughness.

In drilling the ultra-slim small diameter deep hole of titanium alloy, the problem of chip breaking and chip removal is common. When the drill is working normally, the ultrasonic vibration can be applied for the drill bit to cut the bit in the vibration to form a pulse. The cutting force waveform in drilling, should select the reasonable vibration frequency, amplitude, feed amount, workpiece rotation and other parameters to match, control the size and shape of the chip, get satisfactory chips, and avoid chip clogging. In this study, the ANSYS finite element simulation software was used to simulate the TC4 drilling process, and the difference between ultrasonic vibration drilling and ordinary drilling was analyzed. Drilling experiments were carried out. The experimental results show that compared with conventional drilling, ultrasonic vibration drilling has better surface quality, reduced tool wear and increased material removal rate.

Abstract Complex geometries can be produced by using additively manufacturing method (AM). As usual, the AM parts have rough surfaces in which post processing operations are needed. One of the useful operations is ultrasonic drilling process. In this process, an additional movement is added to the cutting tool to improve the machinability factors. In this study, poly lactic acid(+) was selected as workpiece where the quality of the holes generated by ultrasonic drilling, were investigated. The examination parameters were delamination, circularity, and cylindricality. As a result, it was shown that UD process could properly improve the examination parameters. It was explained that harmonic movement of drill bit in UD improved the stability of the process by a decrease in cutting forces and chip adhesion. Moreover, a significant reduction was observed in delamination factor by using ultrasonic vibrations.
