Investigation of Penetration Rate and Surface Topography in Ultrasonic Drilling of WC-Co Composite

Abstract:

WC-Co composite materials possess a vast range of industrial applications owing to their excellent properties such as superior hardness, toughness and dimensional stability. Present article has been targeted at investigating the impact of different experimental conditions (power rating, cobalt content, tool material, thickness of work piece, tool geometry, and abrasive grit size) on penetration rate in ultrasonic drilling of WC-Co composite material. Taguchi’s L-36 orthogonal array has been employed for conducting the experiments. Significant factors have been identified using analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. The experimental results revealed that power rating, abrasive grit size, and tool profile is most significant factor for penetration rate. From the microstructure analysis, the modes of material deformation have been observed and the parameters (i.e. work material properties, grit size, and power rating) were observed as the most crucial for the deformation mode.
