Design and Analysis of Friction Drilling Using Various Angled Tools

Friction drilling is a nontraditional hole making process in which a conical rotating tool is applied to penetrate into work piece and create the hole in a single step, without generating chips. The process relies on the heat generated due to the frictional force between tool and work piece, to soften, penetrate and deform the work material into a bushing shape. In this present work we designed complete friction drilling assembly models with different tool angles by using cad tool (solid works) here we took 45 angle tool as an existing tool and we designed 3 more tools (30 angle, 60angle, 75 angle). After designing we analyzed each tool assembly with static and thermal loading conditions by using (Ansys workbench), here we took steel material for tool and Al-6061 T6 Al Alloy material for plate in each case.
