TORQUE DURING DRILLING PROCESS

NAME: PUTREVU SAI SATWIK
ROLL NO: ME20B138
BATCH: B15
AIM:
● Measuring of Force and Torque using piezoelectric dynamometer
● Perform drilling operation using a CNC machining center at different
spindle speeds and feed rates.
● Evaluation of specific energy and specific Thrust Force for different cases.

PROCEDURE:
● Write a CNC program for drilling operation.
● Centering will be done through center drill prior to holes.
● With different spindle speeds(500rpm and 700rpm), perform the drilling
operations with different diameters(7mm and 10mm) for feed rates of 30,50
and 70 mm/min .
● Measure Fz and Mz using the software and calculate specific thrust force
and specific energy using this data.
● Evaluate specific energy and specific thrust force for the above cases.

OBSERVATION TABLE:

CALCULATIONS:
N = 500 rpm, f= 50 mm/min,D = 7mm
Thrust Force F = 1170 N
Torque T = 2.617 Nm
→ Material removal rate (MRR) = fD2/4 = 50 x(7)2/4 = 1924.22 mm3/min
→ Specific thrust Force = F/MRR = 0.6080 N-mm3/min
→ Power (P) = 2NT= 8221541.03 N-mm/min
→ Specific Energy = P/MRR = 4272.653 N/mm2

N = 700 rpm, f= 70 mm/min,D = 10mm

Thrust Force F = 90.87N
 Torque T = 0.8876 Nm
→ Material removal rate (MRR) = fD2/4 = 70 x(10)2/4 = 2803.869 mm3/min
→ Specific thrust Force = F/MRR = 0.0324 N-mm3/min
→ Power (P) = 2NT= 3903865.398N-mm/min
→ Specific Energy = P/MRR = 1392.313 N/mm2

GRAPHS

For diameter 7 and 10 mm respectively

CONCLUSION:
● Specific thrust force and specific energy are comparably greater for a drill
diameter of 7mm over 10mm.
● The graph of spindle speed vs specific energy is a convex graph with a
minimum.At the beginning specific energy decreases with increase in speed ,
attains minimum and increases further with increase in speed.
● The graph of spindle speed vs specific thrust force is a decreasing graph but is
slightly convex in nature.
