Wear mechanism analysis of internal chip removal drill for CFRP drilling

Abstract

As one of the main problems in the processing of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), tool wear affects the quality and efficiency of hole making. As a new CFRP hole making process, the suction-type internal chip removal method can effectively slow down the tool wear rate. In order to further clarify the reasons for this method to slow down the tool wear, this study investigates the wear mechanism of the internal chip removal tool. The main contents include: first, the experimental parameters such as drilling axial force, drilling temperature, and tool wear are obtained through the experimental method, and the drawing of the drilling temperature change curve of internal chip drilling is completed; second, the polar analysis method is used to study the influence of the drill parameters on the drilling axial force and the tool wear, and the basis for the selection of the structure of the internal chip drill is given; finally, the method of comparative experiments of the internal chip drilling process and the non-internal chip drilling process is used to conclude that the use of the internal chip drilling process can effectively slow down the tool wear rate. Finally, the method of comparing the internal chip removal and non-internal chip removal processes is used to conclude that the use of internal chip removal processing method can effectively reduce the axial force, drilling temperature, and slow down the tool wear.
