Experimental Study and Application of Ultrasonic Vibration Technology in Enhancing Deep-Hole Drilling Tool Performance

Abstract

This study delves into the application of ultrasonic vibration technology in enhancing the performance of deep-hole drilling tools and its consequential effects on the machining process. By integrating ultrasonic vibrations, this research aims to unveil how such vibrations refine the interaction between the tool and material during deep-hole drilling, thereby achieving a reduction in frictional forces, a decrease in machining temperatures, an increase in the efficacy of cutting fluids, and an improvement in chip removal. The experimentation employed an array of tools, including internally cooled welding-style end-face cutters, multi-edged BTA, and single-edged BTA, to investigate the performance variations under different machining parameter configurations. The findings indicate that, compared to conventional drilling methods, ultrasonic vibration-assisted deep-hole drilling substantially elevates machining efficiency, enhances hole wall quality, and significantly reduces tool wear while prolonging tool life.
