It can be said that most of the metal cutting operations are done through drilling; in fact, drilling happens to be the most common machining process employed in the manufacturing industry. Many factors including dimensional tolerances, hole quality, productivity level, and cost associated with machining operations are significantly influenced by the rate of wear occurring on the tools used for drilling. This study attempts to conduct an experimental investigation of tool wear processes in drilling at different machining conditions. Drilling tests were performed on mild steel specimens using HSS drills and carbide drills at various spindle speeds and feeds. The results demonstrate that the dominant wear mechanisms occurring during drilling operations include chipping, flank wear, and crater wear. Faster feed rate causes abrasive wear and degradation of the tool edge, whereas higher cutting speed significantly increases tool wear due to elevated temperatures during the process. The research provides valuable data on the effect of the above factors on the rate of tool wear.
KEYWORDS
The experimental study showed that cutting speed, feed rate, and tool material have a significant impact on tool wear during drilling operations. The predominant wear mechanism was found to be flank wear, whose rate rose as cutting speeds and feed rates increased. Because of their superior hardness and thermal stability, carbide drills outperformed HSS drills in terms of wear resistance and tool life. The main wear processes seen in the trials were edge chipping, adhesive wear, diffusion wear, and abrasive wear. The findings show that drilling performance, tool life, and overall manufacturing efficiency may all be greatly increased by using the right machining parameters and tool materials.
