FEM based investigation on thrust force and torque during Al7075-T6 drilling

Abstract As modern industry advances, the demand for more time and cost effective machining is rising. In order to achieve high levels of standard during it necessary employ sophisticated techniques precise prediction various important parameters that relate processes. Such technique implementation finite element modelling (FEM) which can become a valuable tool researchers engineers alike. this work, 3D Al7075-T6 drilling process with solid carbide tooling being presented. DEFORM3D™ analysis (FEA) software was utilized simulating based on frequently used cutting conditions; speed 100m/min feed 0.15mm/rev, 0.20mm/rev 0.25mm/rev respectively. approximate complex phenomena occur drilling, most critical factors were considered in presented model such as developed friction, heat transfer damage interaction between workpiece. Additionally, validation generated results thrust force torque performed by comparing simulated experimental data. Three experiments carried out aid CNC center four component dynamometer acquire values torque. Most simulations yielded accordance ones agreement percentage reaching 95% cases both torque, confirming validity models accuracy results.
