Abstract
The
cutting parameters and tools used currently in drilling operations on
Ti-64, a popular titanium alloy used in performance driven industries,
have yet to be optimized to allow for high precision and productivity.
A common costly manufacturing error in drilling Ti-64 is an exit burr.
The purpose of this analysis is to identify the relationship between
exit burrs, cutting fluid, supporting backplate material, and tool geometry
allowing a further understanding of the formation modes of burrs between
layered materials.
