Evaluation of the Performance of Micro-Drills in Drilling a Machinable Ceramic Material

Abstract:

The performance of three different micro-drills in drilling a machinable ceramic material has been evaluated in terms of the critical feed speed (mm/min) at a given rotation rate (rpm). The critical speed is the feed speed from and above which the chipping on the rear side of the machinable ceramic material takes place. The determined critical speed turns out to increase with rotation rate in the tested range of 2k-8k rpm, forming the critical boundary line. The drilling performance of the micro-drills can be evaluated quantitatively by using the position of the critical boundary lines in the space of feed speed vs. rotation rate: the upper the critical boundary line, the higher the drilling performance of the micro-drill.
