The removal of macro-burrs formed after drilling has always been a difficult engineering problem, especially on different-machined materials with through holes. This paper aims at presenting an investigation into hole exit characteristics of Ti6Al4V drilled. Plastic deformation at the end of the cutting process or blanking results into the forming of burr, whose degree of impact is mostly affected by the processing parameters, especially the axial feed. Series experiments were conducted to analysis the effect of processing parameter on formed burr. The volume of burr has great effect on work-piece quality and product cost, the burr height formed easily decreases because great attention from scholars and engineers has been paid to, while the burr width size despised naturally plays a great influence on product quality and machining cost. The new de-burring tool are designed and applied in experiment, the decrease in burr width is obviously found, so the removal of burrs becomes much little than that gotten in traditional tool. The resulting indicates a promising future of de-burring in practical application Journals.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

ABSTRACT
The removal of macro-burrs formed after drilling has always been a difficult engineering problem,
especially on different-machined materials with through holes. This paper aims at presenting an

process or blanking results into the forming of burr, whose degree of impact is mostly affected by the
processing parameters, especially the axial feed. Series experiments were conducted to analysis the effect
of processing parameter on formed burr. The volume of burr has great effect on work-piece quality and
product cost, the burr height formed easily decreases because great attention from scholars and engineers
has been paid to, while the burr width size despised naturally plays a great influence on product quality
and machining cost. The new de-burring tool are designed and applied in experiment, the decrease in burr
width is obviously found, so the removal of burrs becomes much little than that gotten in traditional tool.

1. INTRODUCTION
Titanium and it alloys (Ti) has been drawn a widely industrial attention to with great passion,
which can be viewed in following fields like aerospace, automobile, medical, chemical, military,
sporting goods and etc. And the increasing popularity of Ti naturally results from their superior
properties and availability in the earth’s source as well as price stability in market. The dramatic
growth of Ti industry in the past several decades has to be attributed to technology development
in processes for Ti. Because of process ability of Ti, traditional and nontraditional processes are
used in machining of them; the former includes turning, milling and grinding while the latter does
ultrasonic assisted machining, electro-discharge machining and cryogenic machining.
Ti classified as difficult-to-machine material shows its special characteristics in thermal
conductivity and affinity to tool materials and hardness and strength at high temperatures. As one
of the final steps in the fabrication of components, Drilling Ti is very vital for many applications
because this has considerable economical concerns and accounts for a large percentage of all
machining processes. Up to now many researchers’ works have been done by researchers, and
several papers related to drilling Ti have been published. Pei reviewed drilling processes for Ti
comprehensively to improve the cost-effectiveness of currently-available drilling process and/or
to develop cost-effective drilling processes [1]. Dornfeld investigated process conditions and drill
geometry during the drilling burr formation in Ti [2]. Cantero studied the evolution of drill wear,
quality of machined hole in the dry drilling of alloy Ti6Al4V [3]. Lazoglu estimated the
temperature evolution of drill in Ti6Al4V drilling under various process conditions [4]. Karagade

developed a comprehensive finite element model to evaluate temperature distribution in drilling
of Ti considering a variable heat partition model and ploughing forces [5]. Sharif conducted
experiments to investigate performance of coated drill when drilling Ti6Al4V [6]. Rahim worked
on high speed drilling of Ti in the direction of uncoated drill and palm oil as MQL lubricant [7,8].
Pecat brought out chip extraction index to identify suitable cutting parameters and process
conditions for drilling Ti6Al4V [9]. To the people’s surprise, Ti/others (CFRP , graphite ,
bismaleimide or Composite) Stack drilling has greatly drawn researchers’ attention for their
increasing widely application, processing optimization , tool wear and other related topics in
drilling process has been seen in literature[10-12].
Expect above mechanical drilling of Ti, researchers brought out some advanced drilling process
recently to meet the requirement in productivity and precision of part. Spakal and Plaza carried
out work on micro-EDM drilling of Ti6Al4V in the field of optimization of process parameters
and creative design of drill respectively [13,14]. Sakurai and Okamura made pioneering work of
low frequency vibration drilling of titanium alloy [15,16].
Hole drilling quality, specially hole exit quality takes great effect on product assembly feature.
Scholars have research on hole exit defects in aspect of drilling mechanism, drill bit structure,
cutting parameters optimization, and so on. And their achievements have promoted drilling
technique development greatly. However, drilling defects has inherently resulted from the
pushing cutting in semi-enclosed working zone and difficulty of chip removal, and therefore
advanced drilling fails to meet the demand of high precision and efficiency hole-making. In-depth
study on hole exit features should be made continuously. To analyses hole exit characteristics, we
conducted experiments to investigate the effect of processing parameters on hole exit (burr), and
then designed a new tool to de-burr for avoiding the increase in the cost of manufacturing.
2. EXPERIMENT SETUP
The alpha-beta titanium alloy Ti6Al4V block, as work-piece material, was used in this study. A
bar of Ti with the diameter of 80mm was cut into 80 mm thick disks and slotted to produce an
equilateral triangular section with a side length of 20 mm as sown in Figure 1a. Holes of 5.5mm
holes were drilled that exit on the centreline of slot. Burrs were observed after hole sectioning
using wire EDM at measurement locations labelled A and E in Figure 1b, which represented flat
exit surface conditions, and those labelled B , C, D, F, G and H, which represent curved exit
condition. Both exit surfaces were examined because exit surface curvature is known to affect
burr development and the resulting burr formations. And the nominal chemical composition of
Ti6Al4V is shown in Table 1.

The experiment processes detailed the following steps. During drilling, tool went forward 1.5mm
then back 1.0mm, then went forward while stop turning. Because the processing parameters takes
great effect on hole exit quality, especially the axial feed. Series experiments with various axial
feed were conducted to analysis the effect of processing parameter on formed burr. After drilling,
one work-piece was cutting into two halves, in order to investigate the whole structure of hole.
The influence of processing parameters to hole exit quality was analyzed by the observation of

the geometry of burr with the Hirox KH-1000 optical microscope attached to personal computer.
The two directions were used to get the burr height and width, and for each observation the
observed points on hole exit was chosen as Fig.1 (b). On each point, the burr height and width
were measured on the drawing of through hole of work-piece according to the Fig. 3, and then,
the average of measurement result above was obtained to value the formed burr height and width
of hole. To improve hole exit quality, new de-burring tools was designed, the designed objects in
new tool was to decrease plastic deformation at the end of the cutting process, which was seen in
Fig. 4. And to validate the function of new designed tool, the comparative experiments of new
designed and traditional tool were conducted. To analysis the effect of force on burr formation,
the force at the beginning of burr was determined, according to the measurement curve of force
from the stationary dynamometer.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 show the exit burr widths and heights under different spindle speeds and feed
rates. Overall, the burr width is larger than burr height when the processing parameters are kept
same. The variation of the burr heights ranged between 10μm and 70μm at exit hole, while that of
burr width did between125 and 450μm. One noticed point is lack of the value of burr when the
processing parameters are the spindle speed of 30 r/min and the feed rates of 0.09 mm/r and 0.10
mm/r. Because the processing condition is the combination of too low spindle speed and tool high
feed rates, it is unable to process hole. The machining energy in processing condition above on
tool is less than the specific energy of work-piece, the volume of removal material is zero, so the
value of burr height and width at exit is zero, as shown in Fig.5 and 6.

When the spindle speed keeps constant, the burr width and height increases with the increase in
feed rate. The minimum change of burr width is seen in spindle speed of 90r/m when increasing
in feed rate, while that of burr height id done in spindle speed of 60r/m. The change of burr width
and height are 145μm and 9μm separately. When the speed rate keeps constant, the burr
height increases with the increase in spindle speed, and the minimum burr width is seen in
spindle speed of 90r/m.

The volume of burr determines cost of taking removal materials away from the work-piece. To
calculate the volume of de-burring, the cross-shape of burr is assumed to be triangle, the volume of
burr is determined according to the product of the cross sectional area and hole perimeter. The
calculation of de-burring volume with increase in feed rate and spindle speed is seen in Fig.7.

From Fig.7, when the spindle speed keep constant, the burr volume increases with the increase in
feed rate, and with the increase in feed rate, the rise by a small margin is seen. When the speed rate
keep constant, the burr volume declines and then climbs up with the increase in spindle speed, And
the minimum burr volume is commonly seen in spindle speed of 90r/m. The most popular
processing parameters is feed rate of 0.08mm/r when the burr volume and rate of feed rate is the
minimum, to be close to 1.25×106μm2. That means the burr volume is the least while the feed
rate is the fastest, which brings great helpful result in manufacturing process.
The thrust forces and torque of tool in drilling with various spindle speed and feed rate were listed
in Fig. 8 and Fig.9 respectively. Overall, the variation of the thrust forces ranged between 730N
and 1370N when drilling, and that of thrust torque did between 258N•mm and 1021N•mm.

From Fig.8, when the spindle speed keeps constant, the thrust force increases with the increase in
feed rate, and with the increase in feed rate, the rise by a small margin is seen. When the speed
rate keeps constant, the thrust force rises with the increase in spindle speed, and the rise by a
small margin is seen with the increase in feed rate.
Similarly in Fig.9, when the spindle speed doesn’t change, the thrust torque increases with the
increase in feed rate, and the small range of increase in torque is found. When the speed rate
doesn’t , the thrust torque rises with the increase in spindle speed and the rise by a large margin is
seen with the increase in feed rate.

get the experimental formulas for force and torque. The result is followed.

Where, Fz stands for thrust force, whose unit is (N); D stands for drill diameter, whose unit is

whose unit is (r·min-1); T stands for thrust torque, whose unit is (N·mm).
The followed findings from those Eq.1 and Eq.2 are gotten. Thrust force and torque increases with
the increase of spindle speed and feed rate, whose reason can be analyzed in following words.
Firstly, increase in feed rate makes cutting thickness big, so increase cutting force, then thrust

force and torque increase; secondly, the spindle speed and feed rate increase feed rate per unit time
of drilling, because of low elastic modulus of work-piece, elastic force to axial and pore walls
increase, so the thrust force and torque increase. Finally, strain reinforcement of titanium alloys
increases thrust force and torque under increased feed speed.
In order to validate decrease in burr when using the new be-burring tool designed, the comparative
experiments were conducted and some comparisons were made in terms of burr width, burr height,
and burr volume. Based on above experiment, the processing parameter in comparative experiment
was followed. The feed rates were chosen from 0.08mm/r and0.09mm/r and 0.10mm/r, and the
spindle speed equates to 60r/min3
. Fig.10 and Fig.11 and Fig.12 showed the comparative
experiment’s result.
Fig. 10 and Fig. 11 respectively show the exit burr widths and heights under different feed rates
when using the new and traditional tools. Overall, the variation of the burr heights using new tool
ranged between 30μm and 56μm at exit hole, while that of traditional tool did between 50μm and
65μm. And the variation of the burr widths using new tool ranged between176μm and 335μm at
exit hole, while that of traditional tool did between 200μm and 400μm. Fig.12 shows the exit burr
volumes under different spindle speeds and feed rates when using the new and traditional tools, the
variation of the burr volume using new tool ranged between 0.048mm3
and 0.29mm3
at exit hole,
while that of traditional tool did between 0.157mm3
and 0.383mm3
.
From Fig.10, the exit burr width rate of traditional and new tools is between 1.14 and 1.28,
which means the decrease in burr eight used new tool is 16%~27% than that did the traditional
tool.
From Fig.11, the exit burr height rate of traditional and new tools is between 1.13 and 1.26,
which means the decrease in burr eight used new tool is 12~20% than that did the traditional
tool.

From Fig.12, the exit burr volume rate of traditional and new tools is between 1.3 and 3.2
separately, which means the decrease in burr height used new tool is 20%~70% than that did the
traditional tool. When the feed rate is smaller, the differential value between traditional and new
tools is bigger.
The reason for above phenomena can be explained in following words. Work-piece deformed rate
and transportation of chip during the drilling process can be attributed to characteristics of burr at
exit. It is commonly thought that burr is the result of work-piece deformation under force and
characteristics of work-piece, such as elastic modulus thermal conductivity. When new tool is
used, the exit burr height and width is decreased, and the former is less than the latter, which
leads to the promising results. First of all, the decrease in burr height and width bring out the
volume reduction of burr at exit. Last but not least, decrease in burr width is more than that in
burr height, which finally reduce time to remove burrs. Those result leads from the plastic
deformation rate and accumulation deformation degree.

4. CONCLUSIONS
Series experiments were conducted to investigate hole exit characteristics of Ti6Al4V drilled.
Some findings can be gotten. (1).Axial feed rate takes the great effect on burr formation and
volume compared to other processing parameters such as spindle speed. (2).Burr width has
significant impact on working hours to de-burr hole edge, which determines the burr
volume.(3).New designed tool can be used to decrease burr width and height, resulting into
reduction of burr volume. And the promising result is to get the more reduction of the burr width
than that of burr height, when comparing with use of traditional tool.
Hole exit quality has been one of the most difficult issues in manufacturing field, this work in
paper is just the beginning and there are a lot of work to do in following years. Future work would
be centred on determining the optical processing parameters to improve quality and reduce de-
burring time.
