Titanium Alloy Ti6al4v

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.

Drilling Process

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.

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.

This thesis deals with carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) composites, an advanced material which is widely used in manufacturing aircrafts because of their unique mechanical and physical properties. The research mainly involved drilling of CFRP. This study is focused on analyzing the thrust force and delamination against drilling parameters namely feed rate, spindle speed and type of tool materials. Also, the optimal parameters were chosen using an optimization method called D optimal. It was observed that the higher the feed rate and spindle speed employed, the higher the thrust force and delamination occur. The split point fibre (SPF) drill gave the lowest values of thrust force and delamination. Based on the optimal parameters, a verification test was conducted and the prediction error was 2.3% and 5.6% for thrust force and delamination respectively. This shows, that the optimal parameters obtained is reliable as it could improve the process considerably. The results of this study could be used as a reference for further research and studies on drilling of CFRP.

Micro Drilling

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) is extensively used in aircraft and automotive industries due to it exceptional material properties such as high strength to weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Nevertheless, micro drilling process of CFRP material poses various challenge as it has irregular material properties along the structure. High cutting force which lead to poor hole quality is one of the issues that always occur when drilling this material. Hence, the understanding on the relationship between process parameter and material behavior is vital to achieve optimum performance of machining process. The experiment was carried out using 2-level factorial design with variable spindle speed range of 8,000 – 12,000 rpm and feed rate range of 0.01-0.015 mm/rev. Micro drill bit with diameter of 0.9 mm was used and new fresh drill were used for every run to avoid tool wear effect. As a result, lower thrust force of 6.3742 N is obtained from the combination of spindle speed 10k rpm and feed rate 0.0125 N. Therefore, it can be concluded that, optimum parameter falls between the range of 8,000 – 12,000 rpm of spindle speed and 0.01-0.015 mm/rev of feed rate. Validation of the optimum parameter suggested from 2-level factorial which are 8,000 rpm and 0.01 mm/rev is executed. The final result obtained shows 4.5% of error from targeted value and this result is absolutely acceptable and portray the reliability of the experiment.

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.

Exit Burr

Titanium alloys present superior properties like resistance to corrosion, high strength to weight ratio etc, but possess poor machinability. Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V is the most commonly used titanium alloy in aerospace and medical device industries. Titanium and its alloys are notorious for their poor thermal properties and are classified as difficult-to-machine materials. Drilling is an important machining process since it is involved in nearly all titanium applications. It is desirable to develop optimized drilling processes for Ti and improve the hole characteristics such as hole diameter, circularity and exit burr of currently available processes. Due to the low machinability of the alloys under study, selecting the machining conditions and parameters is crucial. The range of spindle speed and feed rate, which provide a satisfactory tool life, is very limited. The hole quality (hole diameter and circularity), thrust force, torque and exit burr were evaluated at various spindle speeds, feed rates combinations. The optimized parameter is chosen using the multi-objective weighted sum optimization technique.

Drilling is one of the complex machining processes, which has been widely applied in the manufacturing area. In this paper, a 3D coupled thermo-mechanical finite element model was used for simulating the thrust force, torque and von Mises equivalent stress at different cutting conditions. The J-C damage model (shear failure) was used in conjunction with the J-C plasticity model, as well as the continuous adaptive remeshing technical. The results show that the thrust force and torque increase with the increasing of the cutting speed and feed rate, and the influence of the feed rate is more obviously.

Nickel-based super-alloy belongs to difficult-to-machine materials, its machinability is low. To find out the difficulties of drilling nickel-based super-alloy, it is necessary to study the drilling process. The study on the drilling process of nickel-based super-alloy Inconel 718 is discussed from two aspects, drilling deformation and drilling forces distribution. For studying the drilling deformation characteristics and influence laws, the drilling chip specimens are obtained by using self-made drilling quick-stop device. Then, the empirical formula of shear angle is also given. Finally, the drilling forces distribution is studied. Results shows that: drilling deformation decreases when the distance to chisel edge, drilling speed and feed rate increases; drilling deformation of Inconel 718 is larger than AISI 1045; the ratio of torque and thrust force on the lead cutting edge is 29%~33%, 74%~77%, respectively; the torque and thrust force of Inconel 718 is about 1.8~2.3 times than that of AISI 1045.

Drilling Process

Drilling is an essential secondary process for near net-shape of hybrid composite as to achieve the required dimensional tolerances prior to final application. Dimensional tolerance is often influenced by the surface integrity or surface roughness of the workpart. Thus, this paper aims to employ the Taguchi and response surface methodologies in minimizing the surface roughness of drilled carbon-glass hybrid fibre reinforced polymer (CGCG) using tungsten carbide, K20 drill bits. The effects of spindle speed, feed rate and tool geometry on surface roughness were evaluated and optimum cutting conditions for minimizing the aforementioned response was determined. Subsequently, response surface methodology (RSM) was utilised in finding the empirical relationships between experimental parameters and surface roughness based on the Taguchi results. The experimental analyses reveal that surface roughness is greatly influenced by feed rate and tool geometry rather than the spindle speed. This is due to the increment of feed that attributed to the increased strain rate and hence, deteriorated the surface roughness of the hybrid composite. The predicted results (via regression model) and theoretical results (via additivity law) were in good agreement with experiment results. This indicates that the regression model from response surface methodology (RSM) can be used to predict the surface roughness in machining of CGCG hybrid composite.
