The integrity of machined holes depends on many parameters, some of which are related to the cutting tool (geometry, coating, material). Other influential parameters are related to the machining process variables (spindle speed, feed rate, workpiece material), all of which can affect the quality of the hole and drilling induced damage on its surface. This study investigates the effect of uncoated tools and four types of tool coatings (TiN-, TiCN-, TiAlN-, and TiSiN) on the hole quality and its microstructure. The study analyzed several hole geometrical metrics, namely hole size, circularity, cylindricity, and perpendicularity of an Al2024 aluminum alloy using a multi-spindle drilling process that utilizes three drills capable of creating multiple holes simultaneously. The results showed that the uncoated carbide drill gave a high-hole quality at low spindle speed. Regarding the coated drills, TiCN coated drills produced holes with the least deviation, circularity, cylindricity and perpendicularity at high spindle speeds. TiSiN–carbide coated drills produced the most oversized holes and noticeable damage and deformations on their surface following TiAlN and TiN. The common surface damage found on the inner hole surface was smearing, feed marks, and metal debris adhesion. The ANOVA results revealed that the tool type had the highest percentage contribution that mainly affected the hole quality.

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.

Abstract The five-axis constrained and optimal orientation planning is formulated as a design optimization problem that incorporates the process machine’s kinematic constraints with the workpiece and tool geometry, to obtain a constrained setup orientation which exploits the maximum capabilities of existing machines. This work will introduce this problem, and will obtain the setup orientation for two different types of rotation structures, i.e., tool rotation and table rotation in O(N) time. Further, the obtained constrained setup orientation, will be augmented to incorporate the workpiece surface magnitude, along with different machine rotation structures, to obtain an optimal setup orientation for different machine rotation structures. The drilling process is also introduced and formulated as additional constraints to the optimization problem. The primary application of the introduced algorithms, is the machining process, where, they can efficiently reduce the number of tool motions and surface finishing processes. However, the solution is very suitable for many manufacturing applications, such as inspection, assembly, robotics, painting, welding, aerospace, electronic surface mount technology, and etc.

Force Vibration

The characteristics of cutting forces vibration and its effects to the hole quality in reaming aluminum cast alloy using a poly-crystalline diamond (PCD) step reamer in dry and wet conditions were studied. First, centrifugal force vibration model of the PCD step reamer during machining process was established and through the analysis of the model, it can be concluded that the maximum amplitude of the vibration is positively related to the angular velocity of the reamer. Then, thrust force and cutting torque were measured by a Kistler Dynamometer during reaming process and these vibration frequency and amplitude were analyzed by fast Fourier transformation (FFT). Hole quality was evaluated by hole diameter and surface roughness. Results show that, as the spindle speed increases, the stability of thrust force and cutting torque deteriorates gradually, and there was a severe vibration in the cutting force and the surface roughness when the spindle speed reached 10000 rpm in wet and 7000 rpm in dry cutting conditions. Compared the variation of hole surface roughness and vibration characteristic of cutting forces, it can be observed that the trends are very consistent, the surface roughness deteriorates when cutting forces become unstable. Therefore,the cutting forces stability was an important factor that influence the hole quality. Cutting fluid has a positive effect to stabilize the reaming process and was beneficial to improve the hole quality.

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.

Bulletproof ceramics are usually hard and brittle with high elastic modulus, high compressive strength, and low tensile strength. While machining bulletproof ceramics, severe tool wear makes it difficult to obtain desired machining quality and efficiency, especially in hole drilling. In this work, an intensive experimental study on the overall wear rate of the sintering diamond thin-wall core bit during the hole drilling of Al2O3 bulletproof ceramics (99 wt.%) has been carried out. The quality loss of the bit after each hole drilled was selected for representing the overall wear rate of the bit. Based on experimental data, the influences of the main bit performance and machining process parameters on the overall wear rate of the bit have been analyzed. According to the results discussed, under the test conditions, finer diamond grit, higher diamond concentration, lower number of water gaps, thinner wall thickness, or lower bit load all can decrease the wear rate of the bit. However, within a certain range, the spindle speed has little influence on the overall wear resistance of the bit, but when the spindle speed increases, the machining efficiency can be significantly improved. The results obtained in this work can offer a valuable reference for the use of sintering diamond thin-wall core bits in the hole drilling of bulletproof ceramics.

Drilling Performance

High-strength carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) T800S/250F is used as the large commercial aircraft material for manufacturing the main load-bearing structural components. Drilling is the mostly used in final machining process of CFRP laminates, while the delamination and burrs occur frequently at the drill exit in the CFRP laminate. In this paper, the machinability of T800S/250F was investigated in term of drilling force and hole quality by using a twist drill and a dagger drill. The experimental results indicated that high spindle speed and low feed rate favor the reduction of thrust force for both drill bits. High spindle speed is a preference to gain the good hole quality at drill exit especially for the dagger drill, which also shows excellent drilling performance than the twist drill and was more suitable for drilling of T800S/250F CFRP laminate.

In recent years, the major reason for the rejection of composite pipes in industrial applications is due to the poor quality of the drilled hole. This paper investigates the effect of drilling process parameters on the hole quality in composite pipes made of an aluminium core surrounded by polyethylene layers. An empirical model is designed for the two input variables using response surface methodology (central composite design). An experimental investigation is carried out to study the effect of spindle speed and feed rate on quality of drilled holes, especially circularity error. It is observed that a moderate spindle speed and low feed rate are most effective in minimizing the circularity error. Microstructural investigation of drilled hole surface is also carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

The micro-drill is one of the manufacturing processes that is developing, especially in the electronics, aerospace, pharmaceutical, and automotive industries. This paper describes the results of the high-speed microdrill process in stainless steel. The drilling process is used to make the micro screen. The cutting tool material is tungsten carbide with a diameter of 0.2 mm. Drilling holes arranged in a honeycomb configuration. The machining parameters used are spindle speed of 20,000 rpm, 22,000 rpm, 24,000 rpm, and feed rate of 1 mm/min, 1.5 mm/min, 2 mm/min. Micro-drilling holes are visually analyzed using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to measure the accuracy of the hole dimensions. The results of the machining process found that the most significant deviation of the hole dimension size with a value of 0.276 mm occurred at a spindle speed of 20,000 rpm with a feed of 1 mm/min. While the deviation of the smallest hole size with a value of 0.2019 mm occurred at a spindle speed of 24,000 rpm with a feed of 2 mm/min, these results conclude that the accuracy of the hole dimensions will increase in proportion to the increase in spindle speed and feeding.

The Impact

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).

Damage Law

Drilling is the most widely used machining process in manufacturing holes in many industrial applications. Optimizing the drilling process is a key to improve the hole quality. Therefore, numerical modeling is an effective method that gives an idea about the cutting process to optimize the drilling parameters. This paper emphasizes the sensitivity of the thrust force, the torque and the machining-induced damage to the hole saw tool geometry using a 3D Finite Element (FE) model developed using ABAQUS/Explicit. A Johnson cook model associated with a ductile damage law is used to predict the failure mechanism of a random chopped glass fiber reinforced polyester. It is found that the thrust force, the torque and the damage around the hole obtained from the FE model are in good agreement with the experimental data. Differences of about 2% for the thrust force, 2.4% for the torque and 3% for the damage around the hole are observed. The results of the numerical model also indicated that the thrust force as well as the drilled workpiece quality are improved by choosing the suitable rake angle. A decrease of about 61% in the thrust force is observed when varying the rake angle from 0° to 20°. However, the latter has an insignificant effect on the thrust force. Furthermore, it can be concluded that this parameter highly influences the material removal process.
