Abstract

This study aims at the deep hole drilling characteristics of AISI 316 alloy utilizing the Peck drilling procedure. It is well-established that hole is the most prevalent machining process, requiring precise techniques to achieve optimal cutting conditions. AISI 316 has high corrosion resistance and mechanical features. It is widely utilized in the aerospace, vehicle, aircraft, and other industries. Due to its high modulus of elasticity, reactivity at high cutting speeds, low heat conductivity, high ductility, high tensile strength, high toughness, high work-hardening rates, and the formation of built-up edge (BUE), machining stainless steel is recognized as extremely challenging. Scientific methods for selecting cutting environments for damage-free drilling operations need to be achieved in order to minimize machining challenges. The experiments are designed using a Taguchi L9 array, with three factors considered at three levels each. The present study is focused on the notion of intermittent drilling and retraction, which is applied using a CNC vertical milling machine, and the outcomes are analyzed. The collected statistics reveal that hole numbers 6 and 7 have reduced roundness. The M35 tool at 800 rpm and a feed rate of 0.05mm/rev yielded the lowest roundness value, followed by the TiAlN tool at 700 rpm and a feed rate of 0.15mm/rev. Cylindricity is within 0.02 for holes 6, 5, and 4 machined with an M35 drill bit, and within 0.04 for holes machined with HSS drill bits. The process parameters are tuned to get the best drill condition.

Keywords: Deep hole drilling, circularity, cylindricity, AISI 316, Taguchi approach.
