Machining of aluminium 6063 alloy using high strength steel and titanium nitride novel coated drill tool using CNC and comparing the material removal rate

Abstract

Abstract This study compares two tools, HSS M42 and TiN Coated twist drill bits, in order to determine which tool has the better material removal rate (MRR). Drill bits were of high speed steel (HSS M42) tool and use of Novel coating of Titanium Nitride on HSS tool in this study. The machining is done on a experimental specimen made of aluminium alloy AA6063. The material removal rate of both tools is measured in CNC drilling on two sets of 20 specimens each. Spindle speed, depth of cut, and feed were all controlled variables. G power 80% used for calculating sample size. SPSS software was used to record and analyse the results for both tools. The average MRR recorded for HSS M42 tool was 14.9803 mm3/s with a Standard deviation value 1.713221. This study has a significance value of 0.037 (p < 0.05) with a g power of 80%. The titanium nitride coated tool had an average MRR of 20.06995 mm3/s and 1.179870 standard deviation. The results were achieved at 0.037 significance, that is lower than 0.05. The titanium nitride coated drill bit has comparatively better MRR than the high speed steel drill bit in no-lubricant and no-coolant drilling circumstances, as per this study.
