In drilling the ultra-slim small diameter deep hole of titanium alloy, the problem of chip breaking and chip removal is common. When the drill is working normally, the ultrasonic vibration can be applied for the drill bit to cut the bit in the vibration to form a pulse. The cutting force waveform in drilling, should select the reasonable vibration frequency, amplitude, feed amount, workpiece rotation and other parameters to match, control the size and shape of the chip, get satisfactory chips, and avoid chip clogging. In this study, the ANSYS finite element simulation software was used to simulate the TC4 drilling process, and the difference between ultrasonic vibration drilling and ordinary drilling was analyzed. Drilling experiments were carried out. The experimental results show that compared with conventional drilling, ultrasonic vibration drilling has better surface quality, reduced tool wear and increased material removal rate.
