Abstract

This article attempts to show how the kinematic system affects the geometrical and dimensional accuracy of through-holes in drilling. The hole cutting tests were performed using a universal turning center. The tool was a TiAlN-coated Ø 6 mm drill bit, while the workpiece was a C45 steel cylinder with a diameter of 30 mm and a length of 30 mm. Three kinematic systems were studied. The first consisted of a fixed workpiece and a rotating and linearly moving tool. In the second, the workpiece rotated, while the tool moved linearly. The third system comprised a rotating workpiece and a rotating and linearly moving tool, but they rotated in opposite directions. The geometrical and dimensional accuracy of the hole was assessed by analyzing the cylindricity, straightness, roundness, and diameter errors. The experiment was designed using the Taguchi orthogonal array method to determine the significance of the effects of the input parameters (cutting speed, feed per revolution, and type of kinematic system) on the accuracy errors. A multifactorial statistical analysis (ANOVA) was employed for this purpose. The study revealed that all the input parameters considered had a substantial influence on the hole quality in drilling.

Highlights

  • Hole drilling in steels can be performed using a variety of modern methods such as electron beam machining, ultrasound machining, electrical discharge machining, and abrasive water jet machining

  • Vipin et al [9] proposed a model for predicting hole diameter errors (HDEs), which takes into account the following input parameters: tool material, spindle speed, feed per revolution, drill bit diameter, and workpiece material

  • The major purpose of this study was to determine how the process parameters as well as the kinematic system used for drilling a hole in C45 steel affected the output parameters such as the diameter, roundness, straightness, and cylindricity errors

Summary

Introduction

Hole drilling in steels can be performed using a variety of modern methods such as electron beam machining, ultrasound machining, electrical discharge machining, and abrasive water jet machining. Bertolini et al [24] considered the relationships between the hole diameter and cylindricity errors and five input parameters They used three different tools (spur drill, coated twist drill, and uncoated twist drill), two types of drilling (dry and cryogenic), four values of the hole depth (z = 2; 4.5; 7; 9.5 mm), two values of the cutting speed (vc = 100; 150 m/min), and three values of the feed per revolution (fn = 0.5; 1; 2 mm/rev). The experiments described in [25] involved measuring the roundness and cylindricity errors for holes drilled with three different drill bits (uncoated, with a diamond-like carbon coating, and with a diamond coating) They used large ranges of the process parameters (n = 2000; 3000; 4000; 6000; 8000; 10,000; 12,000; 14,000; 16,000; 18,000 rpm and fn = 0.02; 0.04; 0.08; 0.1; 0.12; 0.15; 0.18; 0.25; 0.3 mm/rev).
