Experimental investigation on machinability of DMLS Ti6Al4V under dry drilling process

Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology is being extensively utilized in many industries concerning its superior advantage of easily fabricating the 3D parts possessing relatively high geometrical complicacy. Nevertheless, the AM parts generally need conventional machining, such as drilling, to meet the practical requirements, indicating disparate machinability compared with those manufactured by conventional wrought processes. Hence, to investigate the effects of machining parameters on the drilling characteristics of AM parts is of great significance. This work experimentally studied the machinability of the additive manufactured Ti6Al4V by covering a variety of topics including the cutting forces, temperatures, machined surface roughness, tool wear modes and chip morphology with selected cutting speeds and feed rates under dry drilling process. The material utilized in experiments is the Ti6Al4V manufactured by Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) technology. The experimental results highlight the parametric influence on the machinability of DMLS Ti6Al4V and present the possibility to validly redesign the machining parameters accordingly.     

Circular cutting strategy for drilling of carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRPs)

The drilling process of carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRPs) is the most commonly employed machining operation due to the necessity of joining these materials. However, these materials are prone to delaminate during the process, and the presence of this defect is the most cause of rejection for CFRP products, especially those produced for the aeronautic industry. Therefore, this article aims to study a drilling strategy (named circular drilling strategy) by using dedicated tools with different diameters, in order to reduce the extension of delaminations. Holes with different diameters (6, 8, and 10 mm) were obtained both with the conventional and with the proposed drilling strategy under distinct cutting conditions that mainly differ in the feed rates (62, 125, and 250 mm/min) and cutting velocities (50, 75, and 100 m/min). The effect of the cutting parameters and tool diameter on the cutting forces and delamination factor was studied for both the conventional and circular drilling process. The results proved that the proposed technique produces better hole quality and lower thrust forces than the conventional one under the same cutting conditions.     

A comparison between wet and cryogenic drilling of CFRP/Ti stacks

This paper compares conventional and cryogenic cooling in the deep hole drilling of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP)/Ti stacks. Various parameters are taken into account to find if the use of cryogenic coolant is justified by the improvement of the final results. Both the thrust and the torque were acquired continuously during the machining operations and compared both in average and distribution. The use of a cryogenic coolant brings a reduction in thrust force and torque without any sensible drawback. Overall the results prove that cryogenic drilling is a suitable technology for CFRP/Ti stack drill.

A review of mechanical drilling for composite laminates

Composite laminates (CFRP, GFRP, and fiber metal composite laminates) are attractive for many applications (such as aerospace and aircraft structural components) due to their superior properties. Usually, mechanical drilling operation is an important final machining process for components made of composite laminates. However, composite laminates are regarded as hard-to-machine materials, which results in low drilling efficiency and undesirable drilling-induced delamination. Therefore, it is desirable to improve the cost-effectiveness of currently-available drilling processes and to develop more advanced drilling processes for composite laminates. Such improvement and development will benefit from a comprehensive literature review on drilling of composite laminates. This review paper summarizes an up-to-date progress in mechanical drilling of composite laminates reported in the literature. It covers drilling operations (including conventional drilling, grinding drilling, vibration-assisted twist drilling, and high speed drilling), drill bit geometry and materials, drilling-induced delamination and its suppressing approaches, thrust force, and tool wear. It is intended to help readers to obtain a comprehensive view on mechanical drilling of composite laminates.

采用微弧氧化技术在 TiC_P/Ti6Al4V 复合材料表面制备陶瓷膜。在NaAlO₂和NaH₂PO₂两种溶液体系中通过添加不同添加剂 NaOH、C₁₀H₁₂CaNa₂N₂O₈·4H₂O和Na₂SiO₃, 研究电解液组分对陶瓷膜组织、耐蚀性和耐磨性的影响。结果表明: 在NaH₂PO₂电解液体系中生成的膜层由金红石型和锐钛矿型TiO₂相组成, 而在NaAlO₂体系中除了生成TiO₂外, 还生成了Al₂TiO₅和γ-Al₂O₃。添加NaOH可以加快微弧氧化反应速率, 添加NaAlO₂和Na₂SiO₃有利于提高膜层的硬度, NaH₂PO₂溶液体系中形成的膜层厚度是NaAlO₂溶液体系的2~3倍。 在NaAlO₂和NaH₂PO₂电解液体系中生成的膜层, 其耐腐蚀性能排序均为: Na₂SiO₃>C₁₀H₁₂CaNa₂N₂O₈·4H₂O>NaOH。在NaAlO₂电解液体系中生成的膜层的耐磨性能排序为: Na₂SiO₃>NaOH>C₁₀H₁₂CaNa₂N₂O₈·4H₂O, 而在NaH₂PO₂电解液体系中生成的膜层的耐磨性能排序为: Na₂SiO₃>C₁₀H₁₂CaNa₂N₂O₈·4H₂O>NaOH。TiC_P/Ti6Al4V复合材料经过微弧氧化处理后, 耐磨性和耐蚀性均优于基体, 在NaH₂PO₂+Na₂SiO₃电解液中生成的微弧氧化膜的耐蚀性最好, 耐磨性也较好, 其腐蚀电流密度较钛基复合材料基体降低约2个数量级, 因此综合性能最好。

为表征颗粒增强钛基复合材料在恶劣的磨粒磨损条件下的磨损行为,对熔铸法制备的TiCP/Ti6Al4V进行了磨粒磨损条件下的耐磨性试验,并利用SEM、EDX等技术分析了复合材料的磨损过程及磨损机制.研究表明:TiCP/Ti6Al4V复合材料的抗磨粒磨损性能,总体上随TiC颗粒体积分数的增加而提高,载荷越大、磨损时间越长,复合材料越容易表现出优异的耐磨性能;TiC的形态影响着耐磨性的提高,细小颗粒状或羽毛状TiC单位体积增加对耐磨性的贡献,比枝晶状TiC单位体积增加对耐磨性的贡献大约3.5倍;复合材料在磨损初始阶段,其磨损机制以形成犁削和磨沟为主,形成一次磨屑,随着增强相含量的提高,一次磨屑逐步减少,磨损以犁沟和剥层磨损为主,需要磨粒的反复作用才能形成磨屑,因此,耐磨性得到提高.     

Studies on drilling of glass/epoxy laminates using coated high-speed steel drills

Drilling studies were conducted on glass/epoxy composite laminates having two different lay-ups [(0/90)_4s and (0/±45/90)_2s]. Normal drills (2 flute with cone angle of 118°) made of high-speed steel (HSS), TiN-coated HSS, and TiC-coated HSS were used. Drilling parameters were optimized in terms of least thrust and torque. Parameters studied were thrust, torque, tool wear, form deviation, acoustic emission peak, and root mean square (RMS) of acoustic energy. It was observed that coated HSS drills perform little better than uncoated HSS for small number of holes, while their performance is inferior to uncoated HSS for larger number of holes. This is mainly due to peeling or chipping of the coating from base material (HSS). Also, the performance of TiN-coated HSS drill was observed to be better than TiC-coated HSS.     

Fabrication of TiC/TiB/Ti3AlC2 phases reinforced coatings on Ti-6Al-4V substrate

Intermetallic matrix composite coatings reinforced by TiC, TiB₂, and Ti₃AlC₂ were fabricated by laser cladding the mixed power Ti, Al, and B₄C on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and energy dispersive spectroscopy were chosen to investigate the structures and morphologies of the coatings. Results showed that the coatings mainly consisted of the reinforcements of TiC, TiB₂, and Ti₃AlC₂ and the matrix of Ti₃Al, TiAl, TiAl₃, and α-Ti. The hardness and wear-resisting property of the prepared specimens of Ti-45Al-10B₄C and Ti-45Al-20B₄C were studied contrastively. It was found that the coating was metallurgical bonded to the Ti-6Al-4V substrate. The micro-hardness and dry sliding wear-resisting properties of the specimen of Ti-45Al-20B₄C were enhanced further. And the micro-hardness of Ti-45Al-20B₄C was from 900 HV_0.2 to 1225 HV_0.2. The wear-resisting property of Ti-45Al-20B₄C was four times as large as that of the Ti-6Al-4V alloys.
