Drilling characteristics of SiCp/Al composites with electroplated diamond drills
Tóm tắt
SiCp/Al composites are extensively used in aerospace, automotive, and civil applications, and the machining characteristic of SiCp/Al composites is an issue of great economic impact. This paper presents an experimental investigation of the drilling characteristics during machining of SiCp/Al composites with electroplated diamond drills; the drilling characteristics were evaluated in terms of drilling forces, tool wear, surface roughness, and entrance edge quality. Due to the very different machining properties between the SiC particles and Al alloy matrix, in a broader sense, the edge defect is defined as an undesirable effect generated at the edge of a workpiece after the machining process. The results demonstrate that with the increase of the drilling speed, both the thrust force and torques have no significant increase, while the surface roughness increased quickly. In addition, it is found that the formation of the entrance edge defects was associated with the varying of the drilling force and the electroplated diamond drills were subjected to an extremely rapid flank wear. The primary wear mechanism includes abrasive and adhesive wear of the flank face.
