Mathematical Modelling of Surface Roughness for Evaluating the Effects of Cutting Parameters in Drilling Process.
1. Introduction
Drilling is one of the most important machining processes.
Approximately 75% of all metal cutting process involves drilling
operation [1]. In automotive engine production, costing of drilling hole
is among the highest [2].
Therefore, surface integrity is an important parameter in
manufacturing engineering. It is because, surface integrity can
influence the performance of final parts and it's quality [3]. In
order to study the relationship between drilling process parameters and
surface integrity, a systematically approach, the design of experiments
(DOE); response surface method (RSM) can be used effectively [4].
In the manufacturing industries, various machining processes
(turning, milling, drilling etc.) are adopted for removing the material
from the workpiece to obtain finished product. Among the various metal
removing processes, drilling is the one of most important metal removing
process as compared to other traditional machining processes. Drilling
is use for making the hole in the workpieces. Hole making is a most
important machining process in manufacturing. During the drilling, the
drill rotates and feed into the work Different drilling tools and hole
making methods are used for drilling. The selection of different tools
and methods depends on the type of workpiece, size of the hole, the
quantity of holes, and the quantity of the holes in given time periods.
[5].
The surface quality is one of the most specified customer
requirements and the major indicator of surface quality on machined
parts is surface roughness. The surface roughness is mainly a result of
various controllable or uncontrollable process parameters and it is
harder to attain and track than physical dimensions are. A considerable
number of studies have researched the effects of the cutting speed,
feed, depth of cut, nose radius and other factors on the surface
roughness. In recent studies the effects of some factors on surface
roughness has been evaluated and models has been developed.
A central task in science and engineering practice is to develop
models that give a satisfactory description of physical systems being
observed. The goal of this study is to obtain a mathematical model that
relates the surface roughness to three cutting parameters in face
milling, precisely to the cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut.
[17], [12].
Although metal cutting methods have improved in the manufacturing
industry, conventional drilling process still remains one of the most
common processes. Drilling can be applied to various workpiece
materials. The surface quality is important for the functional behavior
of the mechanical parts [6],[. The most obvious factors influencing the
accuracy of drilled holes are cutting speed and feed rate [9]. Cutting
speed and feed rate significantly affect the surface roughness of the
machined surface whereby high cutting speed and low feed rate resulted
in the better surface finish [3]. In material removal processes, an
improper selection of cutting conditions will result in rough surfaces
and dimensional errors. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the
relationship among the various controllable parameters and to identify
the important parameters that influence the quality of drilling. [10]
Metal cutting is one of the most significant manufacturing
processes in the area of material removal. Black [14] defined metal
cutting as the removal of metal chips from a workpiece in order to
obtain a finished product with desired attributes of size, shape, and
surface roughness [15]. One important parameter in the qualification of
cut surfaces is their roughness, and its indexes. The roughness has
great significance primarily at mating, sliding surfaces. This has been
one more reason for the researchers' increased interest for a long
time to predict these indexes for a given process within the specified
cutting conditions. Several modeling procedures and techniques were
worked-out, which essentially can be classified into four groups: 1)
analytical models, 2) experimental methods, 3) DoE (Design of
Experiment)-based methods and 4) AI (Artificial Intelligence)-based
methods.
Experiment aim is to define adequate mathematical model that is
used to determine the influence of independent factors and cutting data,
at surface roughness. The following independent factors are selected:
cutting speed (v), drill diameter (d), and feed rate (f). For a concrete
case, that means determination of criteria:
- surface roughness: [R.sub.a] = f(v,f,d)

4. Experimental setup
Experimental design: This work is an experimental study focused on
the effect of cutting and geometrical parameters on surface roughness,
developing a correlation between them. The experimental design involves
variation of three factors at three levels (low, medium and high),
including cutting speed (v), feed rate (f) and drill tool diameter (d)
as indicated in Table 2.
A design matrix was constructed on the basis of the selected
factors and factor levels as shown on the table 2. The selected design
matrix was a full factorial design N=2k+N0 (k=3--number of factors,
N0=4--number of additional tests for three factors) consisting of 12
rows of coded/natural factors, corresponding to the number of trials.
This design provides a uniform distribution of experimental points
within the selected experimental hyper-space and the experiment with
high resolution [7[, [8].
The factor ranges were chosen with different criteria for each
factor, aiming at the widest possible range of values, in order to have
a better utilization of the proposed models. At the same time, the
possibility of the mechanical system and manufacturer's
recommendations are taken into account.
Machining conditions used in the experiment also are shown in Table
2 [9], [10], [11]. All of the trials have been conducted on the same
machine tool, with the same tool type and the same cutting conditions.
Measured values of surface roughness, as the results of testing
twelve experimental points defined by experiment plan matrix, are shown
in Table 3. The mentioned values of surface roughness are input data for
mathematical modeling of results, which was made by multiple regression
analysis.
a. Regression based modeling
The main task for regression analysis is to show relationship
between the roughness and machining independent variables. Many authors
suggested linear and exponential empirical models for surface roughness
as functions of machining parameters [13], [14], [15], [16], by the
following:
[mathematical expression not reproducible] (1)
Three parameters: cutting speed (v), feed rate (f), and drill tool
diameter (d). Ra is the surface roughness in [micro]m, f--feed rate in
mm/rev, d-drill tool diameter, and respectively [c.sub.0], [c.sub.1],
[c.sub.2], and [c.sub.3] are constants.
Multiple linear regression models for surface roughness can be
obtained by applying a logarithmic transformation that converts
non-linear form of eq. (1) into following linear mathematical form:
ln [R.sub.a]= ln [c.sub.0] + [c.sub.1] ln f + [c.sub.2] ln f +
[c.sub.3] ln d (2)
The linear model of eq. (3) in term of the estimated response can
be written as:
y= [[beta].sub.0]+ [[beta].sub.1][x.sub.1] +
[[beta].sub.2][x.sub.2]+ [[beta].sub.3]x+[epsilon] (3)
where y is the logarithmic value of the measured surface roughness,
[[beta].sub.0], [[beta].sub.1], [[beta].sub.2], [[beta].sub.3] are
regression coefficients to be estimated, [x.sub.0] is the unit vector,
[x.sub.1], [x.sub.2], [x.sub.3] are the logarithmic values of cutting
speed, feed rate, cut of depth and [epsilon] is the random error.
The above equation in matrix form becomes:
y=X[beta]+ [epsilon] (4)
Thus, the least squares estimator of [beta] is
[beta] = [(X'X).sup.-1]X'y (5)
The fitted regression model is
[??]=X[beta] (6)
The difference between the experimentally measured and the fitted
values of response is:
e=y- [??] (7)
The regression analysis technique using least squares estimation
was applied to compute the coefficients of exponential model. The
following empirical exponential model for surface roughness was
determined and is given, respectively: Final mathematical model of
surface roughness [R.sub.a] is obtained:
[R.sub.a] = 46.566 x [v.sup.-0.816] x [f.sup.0.44] x [d.sup.0.323]
(8)
5. Results and discussion
Table 3 presents experimental results of surface roughness criteria
[R.sub.a] for various combinations of cutting speed, feed rate and drill
tool diameter to full factorial design. Minimal value of surface
roughness criteria [R.sub.a] was obtained at V=25 m/min, f = 0,1 mm/rev,
d=12 mm, (test No. 1). That means increasing of cutting speed and drill
tool diameter with the lowest feed rate lead to decreasing of surface
roughness.
It is found that cutting speed has the most significant effect on
surface roughness, followed by feed rate and drill tool diameter.
Maximal value of surface roughness criteria [R.sub.a] was
registered at V = 15 m/min, f = 0.3 mm/rev, d=8 mm, (test No. 10). In
order to achieve better surface finish, the highest level of cutting
speed, and the lowest level of feed rate and drill tool diameter, should
be recommended.
Fig. 1 which highlights the main factor plots for [R.sub.a] appears
to be an almost linear decreasing function of cutting speed and an
increasing function of feed rate (f) and drill tool diameter (d). Figs.
2 a, b, c and d illustrate 3D surface plots of Ra according to the
predictive exponential empirical model (9).
6. Conclusions
This paper presents research of various cutting parameters
affecting the surface roughness in dry drilling of forgings steel EN
1.0038 using HSS coated TiN drill tools.
The investigations of this study indicate that the cutting
parameters like cutting speed and feed rate are the primary influencing
factors, which affect surface roughness.
Statistical models deduction defined the degree of influence of
each cutting parameter element on surface roughness criteria.
The results revealed that cutting speed seems to influence surface
roughness (0.816) more significantly than feed rate (0.44). However,
drill tool diameter is less significant (0.323).
With the regression equation generated, the best combination of
design independent variables for achieving the optimization of cutting
processes.
The predicted developed mathematical model can be used by the
manufacturer while selecting the machining parameters. The predicted
results are in good agreement with the measured ones. These
relationships are applicable within the range of tested parameters.
