Abstract

The aim of the investigations presented in this research work is to optimize the cutting geometry for drilling of Heat Resistant Austenitic Stainless Steel (HRASS) based on the tool life and strain hardening generated on the work material during cutting process. In particular, an attempt has been made to understand the effect of cutting edge preparation on both the cutting forces and the strain hardening of the work material. Besides, chips in flutes are also analyzed by tomography technique to better understand their evacuation in-situ in correlation with the cutting forces. A Quick-Stop Device (QSD) in drilling is also employed to analyze the influence of the cutting edge radius, the coating material, and the cutting fluid nature on the strain hardened layer using micro hardness filiations.
