In past few decades, a lot of research has been done in the field of machining to improve the quality of machined surface. Out of these machining operations, drilling is widely used in the areas of marine and aerospace for assembly requirements. Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V, owing to its vast applications, is regarded as an important material for these industries. Ti-6Al-4V is categorized as difficult to machine material. Based on above stated facts, an experimental study was conducted on the dry drilling of Ti-6Al-4V. The objective of this study was to establish the correlations between drilling parameters such as feed rate and spindle speed, and quality of machined surface which is evaluated in terms of drill hole diameter deviation, exit burr height and surface roughness.

Beim Bohren von kohlefaserverstärktem Kunststoff treten verstärkt Schädigungen wie Delaminationen und Faserüberstände auf. Mit dem Ziel die Bohrlochqualität zu verbessern, wurde der Einfluss der Werkstückeinspannung hinsichtlich Einspanngeometrie, -kraft und -material untersucht. Zusätzlich zur konventionellen optischen Delaminationsmessung wurde die äußere und die innere Delamination mittels Mikrocomputertomografie analysiert. Durch eine Optimierung der Einspannung konnte die Bohrlochqualität gesteigert werden.   When drilling carbon fiber reinforced polymers damages like delamination and fiber protrusion appear. Aiming to improve the drill hole quality, the influence of the fastening device with respect to fastening geometry, force and material is analyzed. In addition to the conventional optical delamination measurement, the outer and inner delamination is investigated by micro computer tomography. The optimization of the fastening device leads to a higher drill hole quality.

Helical milling has been positioned as an alternative to conventional drilling, where the advantages it offers make it very attractive for use on difficult-to-machine alloys such as the titanium alloy UNS R56400. However, the correlation between the indicator of hole quality and the kinematic parameters has rarely been studied. The kinematics are what bring most advantages and that is why it is necessary to know their influence. In this aspect, there are different focuses of problems associated with the complexity of the process kinematics, which makes it necessary to undertake a deeper analysis of the process and to carry out a preliminary study. To address this problem, a DOE (Design of Experiments) is proposed to identify the sensitivity and the main trends of the properties that define the quality holes with respect to the kinematic parameters. At the same time, a nomenclature is proposed to unify and avoid misinterpretations. This study has allowed us to obtain conclusive results that offer very relevant information for future research

Analysis of the machined surface is one of the major issues in machining operations. On the other hand, investigating about the variations of cutting forces in machining operation has great importance. Since variations of cutting forces affect the surface quality of machined workpiece, therefore, analysis of the correlation between cutting forces and surface roughness of machined workpiece is very important. In this paper, we employ fractal analysis in order to investigate about the complex structure of cutting forces and relate them to the surface quality of machined workpiece. The experiments have been conducted in different conditions that were selected based on cutting depths, type of cutting tool (serrated versus. square end mills) and machining conditions (wet and dry machining). The result of analysis showed that among all comparisons, we could only see the correlation between complex structure of cutting force and the surface roughness of machined workpiece in case of using serrated end mill in wet machining condition. The employed methodology in this research can be widely applied to other types of machining operations to analyze the effect of variations of different parameters on variability of cutting forces and surface roughness of machined workpiece and then investigate about their correlation.

The modeling as well as application of process damping in milling of thin-walled workpiece made of titanium alloy is investigated. Titanium alloy used commonly in aviation industry is one typical difficult-to-machine material. Chatter usually occurs in cutting of titanium alloy, which results in poor surface quality and damaged tool. Thus, chatter is one important restriction for the quality and efficiency of titanium alloy manufacture, especially for the thin-walled workpiece made of titanium alloy due to poor structural stiffness. Process damping results from interference between flank face and machined surface, which is critical but usually ignored in chatter analysis for difficult-to-machine material. The paper presents one nonlinear dynamic model considering process damping for milling of thin-walled workpiece made of titanium alloy and designs antivibration clearance angle to suppress chatter based on the model. The experimental and computational results indicate that the presented methods for chatter stability analysis are reasonable, and the antivibration clearance angle designed is effective in suppressing chatter and improving machining quality.


Recently machining of hybrid stacking materials are much interested and challenging in manufacturing domains. Mostly, drill hole quality depends the machining parameters and type of cutting tool. This work investigates the experimental study for effects of drill bit geometry on hole quality of glass laminate aluminum reinforced epoxy (GLARE). GLARE have manufactured by alternative stacking of aluminum (AA7475) and glass fiber (E-glass)/epoxy composite through compression molding machine. Machining of GLARE by using of Computer numerical controller. Hole quality were studied with the aid of optical microscopic. Results show that a drill tip geometry to promote the reduction of delamination and structural damage. Superior hole quality is achieved with 2 fluted drill bit than 3 fluted drill bit.

Millions of holes are produced in many industries where efficient drilling is considered the key factor in their success. High-quality holes are possible with the proper selection of drilling process parameters, appropriate tools, and machine setup. This paper deals with the effects of drilling parameters such as spindle speed and feed rate on the chips analysis and the hole quality like surface roughness, hole size, circularity, and burr formation. Al7075-T6 alloy, commonly used in the aerospace industry, was used for the drilling process, and the dry drilling experiments were performed using high-speed steel drill bits. Results have shown that surface roughness decreased with the increase in spindle speed and increased with the increase in the feed rate. The hole size increased with the high spindle speed, whereas the impact of spindle speed on circularity error was found insignificant. Furthermore, short and segmented chips were achieved at a high feed rate and low spindle speed. The percentage contribution of each input parameter on the output drilling parameters was evaluated using analysis of variance (ANOVA).

Obtaining the optimum surface finish is one of the key factors in machining operations. For this purpose, engineers apply a set of machining parameters to obtain the desired surface quality. On the other hand, tool faces wear during machining operation that itself affects the surface quality of machined surface. Therefore, tool wear and surface finish of machined workpiece should be related to each other. In this research, we employ fractal analysis in order to investigate the correlation between variations of complex structure of machined surface and tool wear in turning operation. In fact, we changed the machining parameters between different experiments and investigated how the machined surface is correlated with the tool wear. Based on the obtained results, we can see the correlation between the complexity of machined surface and tool wear by increasing the depth of cut, spindle speed and feed rate in different experiments. The method of analysis employed in this research can be widely applied to other machining operations in order to find the correlation between the surface quality of machined surface and tool wear.
