Abstract
In this paper, the performance of uncoated- and Titanium nitride aluminium TiAlN-PVD coated- carbide twist drills were investigated when drilling aluminium alloy, Al 6061. This research focuses on the optimization of drilling parameters using the Taguchi technique to obtain minimum surface roughness and thrust force. A number of drilling experiments were conducted using the L9 orthogonal array on a CNC vertical machining center. The experiments were performed on Al 6061 material l blocks using uncoated and coated HSS twist drills under dry cutting conditions. Analysis of variance(ANOVA) was employed to determine the most significant control factors. The main objective is to find the important factors and combination of factors influence the machining process to achieve low surface roughness and low cutting thrust force. From the analysis of the Taguchi method indicates that among the all-significant parameters, feed rate are more significant influence on surface roughness and cutting thrust than spindle speed.
