Numerical and experimental studies of longitudinal and longitudinal-torsional vibrations in drilling of AISI ۱۰۴۵

چکیده مقاله

Conventional drilling (CD) which is known by two rotary and linear motions is considerably used in material removal processes; however this method can not satisfy the new demands of modern industry anymore, encountering with some serious technological constraints such as fast tool wear, high thrust force and so on. A new and promising method which has been used recently as an alternative technique to cope or at least diminish common difficulties in CD is imposing ultrasonic vibrations to the cutting process, where vibrations usually with high frequency and low amplitude are superimposed in the movements of cutting tool. This study is a new exercise which considers the effects of one and two directional ultrasonic vibrations in drilling of AISI 1045 compared to CD. In one directional technique known as longitudinal ultrasonic assisted drilling (L UAD), ultrasonic vibrations are added to the feed motion and in two directional vibrations; ultrasonic vibrations are simultaneously applied to both feed and rotary motions known as longitudinal-torsional ultrasonic assisted drilling (L-T UAD). The study which is performed both experimentally and numerically does its best to evaluate and compare the obtained results in CD, L UAD and L-T UAD. In experimental part, a system including two vibratory tools and a rotary mechanism is designed, fabricated and then assembled with other equipment on a milling machine to accomplish drilling tests. In numerical part a FE model is also developed with the aim of further understand of experimental results, by which drilling operations either conventional or vibratory in different forms can be conducted and studied. As a brief conclusion, it was found that ultrasonic vibrations can be used as an effective tool for enhancement of drilling process and longitudinal-torsional vibrations reveal better results than longitudinal vibrations.
