Effects of High-Pressure Coolant Supply on Tool Wear and Axial Hole Deviation in through Hole Drilling ASTM 304 Using Twist Deep Hole Drill

Article Preview

Abstract:

In deep-hole drilling using long drills (L/D >= 40), chip evacuation becomes poor, and step-feed drilling is therefore employed, resulting in reduced machining efficiency. Although the use of high-pressure coolant (HPC) machining technology is expected to improve chip evacuation as well as reduce tool damage, few studies have investigated the effects of applying a high-pressure coolant to deep-hole drilling with long drills, either domestically or internationally. Therefore, this study aimed to propose and experimentally demonstrate the combined use of a high-pressure coolant during drilling in order to achieve high-efficiency and high-precision deep-hole machining (L/D = 40) using a 5-mm-diameter drill. The results that (1) at a cutting speed of 60 [m/min], the flank wear on both cutting edges was significantly greater at a coolant pressure of 0.2 [MPa] than at 20 [MPa], (2) although the axial hole deviation varied with the number of holes, it was smaller at a cutting speed of 90 [m/min] than that at 80 [m/min], and so on, were obtained.
