Evaluation of tool performance and wear through vibration signature analysis in drilling of IS3048 steel

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, a connection between vibration amplitude and tool wear when drilling of IS3048 steel utilizing different dimensioned tools is dissected through tests. Discriminant features, which are sensitive to drill wear and breakage, were developed. These were discovered to be somewhat impervious toward sensor location and cutting conditions. In the process, the vibration amplitude features a checking highlight dependent on ascertaining both the tools and their performance over vibrations, which was discovered to be somewhat powerful for on-line identification of drill tool breakage in both frequency and time domains. These vibrational amplitude signal features are directly affected, related to the tool geometry, which give higher chances of tool selection criteria during the drilling process. The experiments were carried out using solid carbide tool with change in tool geometry under dry conditions where the vibration amplitude for both is evaluated. The results revealed that cutting tool vibrational amplitude and tool wear were relatively dependent showing the tool selection of suitable tool geometry.
