Finite Element Simulation of a Friction Drilling process using Deform-3D

Friction drilling Process is a rotating conical tool to penetrate the work piece and create a bushing in a single step without generating chips. This work investigates the finite element modeling (FEM) of large plastic strain and high-temperature work-material deformation in friction drilling. The workmaterial deformation is very large, and both the tool and work piece temperatures are high in friction drilling. Modeling and Simulation is a necessary tool to understand the material flow, temperatures, stresses, and strains, which are difficult to measure experi-mentally during friction drilling. A semi-empirical analytical model based on the contact pressure and measured temperature will be developed to predict the thrust force and torque in friction drilling. The FEM used to analyze the high temperature and large deformation of the work material in friction drilling. In this study, the DEFORM-3D software is used to simulate the behavior of friction drilling Process.
