Abstract

Finite element modeling (FEM) is widely used to optimize machining processes, to predict and analyze the cutting force, cutting temperature and other related responses. Most of the FEM studies were conducted under the two dimensional orthogonal cutting. Drilling process, which involves oblique cutting is not suitable for orthogonal cutting modelling. Therefore, an attempt to simulate a three dimensional simulation of the drilling process is required. A commercially available software called DEFORM is used to accomplish the task. The value of thrust force from the simulation is compared with the experimental results and they are both in a good agreement. Comparison of the drill temperature at TC1 and TC2 are within an error margin of 12%.
