In this paper drill shape and cutting conditions for environmentally conscious dry drilling of A319 Al-alloy are studied by experimental method. The experiment is planned with Taguchi's method that is based on the orthogonal array of design factors. The result is summarized as follows (1) Drill geometry optimization can increase the number of holes in dry drilling and also large helix angle and large point angle are desirable in dry drilling. (2) It is found that cutting conditions that is cutting speed and feed rate are closely related to the drill geometry(3) For dry drilling of Al-alloys drill shape and cutting conditions are selected and tested by experimental method. But it is found that the perfect dry drilling is difficult because of the machining characteristics of Al-alloys and so new machining method such as minimal lubricant application is required.

To facilitate the manufacturing of dull using CNC grinding machine, the simulation of helical groove machining with given wheel profile and setting condition is necessary. Considering the wheel as a collection of thin disks, the flute configuration is predicted in a cross section perpendicular to the axis and the grinding wheel profile is also predicted to machine the desired helical groove with given setting conditions. Two programs for these processes are developed. Using programs interactively, the helical groove machining process can be predicted more accurately. By clarifying the geometrical relation between the shape of cutting edge and the flute configuration in the cross section which is perpendicular to drill axis, it becomes possible to predict the necessary cross sectional shape of wheel for desired drill cutting edge shape. Some factors for the software are considered concerning prediction of accuracy and computing time.

Inconel 718, a typical ultraheat-resistant alloy, is recognized as a useful component in aircraft parts owing to its high-temperature strength and good chemical stability. Although many studies have been conducted to determine the proper drill shape to overcome the poor machinability when drilling into Inconel 718, most have involved a cutting process program known as AdvantEdge, as an experimental approach requires much time and money. In this study, our purpose is to optimize the drill shape for efficient drilling by conducting a trust force and temperature analysis using AdvantEdge. In order to achieve this purpose, the reliability of the results of the analysis was verified and by applying design of experiment an analysis of the geometric parameters of the drill shape considering the thrust force and temperature was conducted.

Drilling operation is such an important machining process, which has been wildly applied to the industry, occupied over 30% of whole industry. However, there are many aspects of drilling process should be improved, such as increases of thrust force, surface roughness, and roundness, ect. In this study, we are aiming to reduce the thrust force, surface roughness, and roundness in drilling process. For this purpose, multi facet drills (MFD) of three types that are modified from standard drill (STD) are developed. The first type is multi stair drill (MSD) with shape of stair on relief plane. The second type is rough facet drill (RFD) with shape of round on relief plane. The third type is rough flute drill (RFLD) with shape of round on flute plane. For three types of MFD, we were carried out performance evaluation from the perspective of thrust force, surface roughness and roundness of machined hole. From obtained result, we could confirmed that performance of rough flute drill (RFLD) type is most excellent.

In this paper, drill tests were carried out by modifying drill geometry for burr minimization. Final objective of this study is to develop compatible drill shape for minimization of burr formation. These experimented results with modified drill are measured with laser sensor after performing drilling with variable material. Simultaneously, the cutting force and the torque of various drill geometry have been observed with same cutting condition to judge drill stability. As a result, burr was minimized in step drill with 75$^{\circ}$ step angle at every material.

Carbide-tipped twist drill of new type which is better than traditional H.S.S twist drill has been developed successfully to drill steel work-pieces with high speed. This new carbide drill consists of a characteristic flature of special shape of cutting edge, chip pocket, and flute. The special design of the chip pocket and the flute guarantees both periodic fracture and smooth transport of chips along the flute. The carbide-tipped twist drill also allows one to apply more drilling force than conventional one and produce holes with high accuracy.

Resently, reduction of industrial products in size and weight has increased by the application of micro-drill for gadgets of high precision and gave rise to a great interest in a micro-drilling. Due to the lack of tool stiffness and the chip packing, micro-drilling requires not only the robust tool structure which has not affected by the vibration, but also the effective drilling methods designed to prevent tool fracture from cutting troubles. Firstly, this paper presents a new manufacturing process of micro-drill for improving the product rate and an optimum shape of micro-drill for lengthening the tool life, and secondly suggests between tool life and drilling torque acquired in the inprocess monitoring system.

Micro-drill wear deteriorates accuracy and productivity of the micro components. In order to improve productivity and qualify of micro components, it is required to investigate micro-drill wear exactly. In this study, a machine vision system is proposed to measure the wear of micro-drills using a precision servo stage. Calibration experiments are conducted to compensate for the machine vision system. In this paper, worn volume, area and length are defined as wear amounts. Micro-drill wear is reconstructed as the 3D topography and the quantized wear amount by using the shape from focus (SFF) method and wear parameters. Experiments have been conducted with HSS twist micro-drills and SM45C carbon steel workpieces. Validity of the proposed machine vision system is confirmed through experiments.

Purpose : The objective of this research was to investigate an optimization of drill design factors for implant stability and efficacy through comparative evaluation by the cutting time, heat generation and initial stability. Materials and Methods : Three design factors were considered for the purpose of drill design optimization; the number of flute(2 flute, 3 flute), helix angle($15^{\circ}$, $25^{\circ}$) and drill tip shape(straight, 2-phase). Design factors were selected through comparative evaluation by temperature change, cutting time and ISQ value. Results : Heat generation and cutting time are influenced by all design factors(p<0.05). Drill tip shape was the only factors which influenced to the largest initial stability(p<0.05). Conclusion : Drills with 2 flutes, 2-phase formed drill tip, and 25 degrees of helix angle exhibit a better performance than other design.

Drilling tests were carried out using drills with various drill shapes for burr minimization. Final objective of this study is to develop compatible drill shape for minimization of burr formation. For experiments, general carbide drills, round drills, chamfered drills and step drills are designed and manufactured. Burrs are formed by various cutting conditions and in 4 different work materials. Laser sensor is used to measure burr geometries. Cutting forces in drilling are also measured and compared in every drill. As a result of the experiments, step drills with specific step angle and step diameter are suggested for burr minimization.
