The Validation as Experimental and Numerical of the Values of Thrust Force and Torque in Drilling Process

Abstract

Drilling is the most common machining process whereby the operation involves making round holes in metallic and nonmetallic materials. Metal drilling operations are quite complex and usually complicated. Nevertheless, knowledge about metal drilling process related to using Finite Element Model in literature is quite limited reported. In this study, a Lagrangian Incremental Finite Element Model selected for the metal drilling process. The drilling force and torque values were obtained using Finite Element Model for AISI 1040 workpiece material. A comparison presented between the drilling force and torque values which are obtained by measured and Finite Element Model, and then a good agreement found between measured and predicted force and torque values.
