Focusing on the difficult-to-cut characteristic of titanium alloy, this paper selects several cemented carbide tool materials in the tests of machining the titanium alloy workpieces. Different sets of geometrical parameters of the drilling bits are grouped, chosen and optimized, and then deep-hole drilling tests are carried out. The suitable cutter materials and the optimum geometrical parameters of the cutter for drilling deep holes in titanium alloy have been determined through the analysis of tested results.

Accurate evaluation of residual stress is essential if is to be taken into account in structural integrity assessments. For thick components, many non-destructive residual stress measurement techniques cannot be used since they are unable to measure the stresses deep within the component. Measurement techniques which involve mechanical strain relief through material removal are the only alternative. Recently, it has been found that these techniques may fail to measure the stresses correctly when highly triaxial stresses are present because plastic redistribution can occur when the material removal is carried out. The Deep Hole Drilling technique is a very powerful method to measure the stresses within very thick engineering components. However, it can suffer from high levels of plasticity and lead to inaccurate results. It is shown in the present research that the effect of plasticity on the measured stresses can be eliminated. In the present work, the effect of gauge volume on the plasticity effect is investigated.

The aim of the present study was to utilize a complex residual stress generated within a welded circular disc to further investigate the standard deep-hole drilling (DHD) technique and the newly developed over-coring deep-hole drilling (oDHD) technique in accurately measuring residual stresses well over yield stress. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was used to optimize and extend the deep-hole drilling technique and improve its accuracy. The standard DHD procedure involves 4 steps. (1) A reference hole is gun-drilled through the component. (2) The internal diameter of the reference hole is measured at different angular positions through the depth of the component. (3) A cylindrical section with the reference hole as its longitudinal axis is trepanned free from the component. (4) Finally, the relaxed internal diameter is re-measured at the same angular positions and the same depths. The drilling, trepanning procedures and the parameters of the deep-hole drilling technique were all studied in detail to optimize the technique. Comparison is made between the FEA predicted residual stress in the weld, the measurements and the reconstructed residual stresses of the measurements. The close correlations confirmed the suitability of new modifications made in the deep-hole drilling technique to account for plasticity when measuring near yield residual stresses present in a component.

Introduction: In this study, the super-long deep-hole drilling of a titanium alloy was investigated. Methods: According to material properties of the titanium alloy, an experimental approach was designed to study three issues discovered during the drilling process: the hole-axis deflection, chip morphology, and tool wear. Results: Based on the results of drilling experiments, crucial parameters for the super-long deep-hole drilling of titanium alloys were obtained, and the influences of these parameters on quality of the alloy’s machining were also evaluated. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the developed drilling process is an effective method to overcome the challenge of super-long deep-hole drilling on difficult-to-cut materials.
