1、英文原文Options for micro-holemakingAs in the macroscale-machining world, holemaking is one of the most if not the mostfrequently performed operations for micromachining. Many options exist for how those holes are created. Each has its advantages and limitations, depending on the required hole diameter

This article covers holemaking with through-coolant drills and those without coolant holes, plunge milling, microdrilling using sinker EDMs and laser drilling. Helpful Holes Getting coolant to the drill tip while the tool is cutting helps red

But through-coolant capability is especially helpful when deep-hole microdrilling because the tools are delicate and prone to failure when experiencing recutting of chips, chip packing and too much

The toolmaker offers a line of through-coolant drills with d

Having through-coolant capacity isnt enough, though. Coolant needs to flow at a rate that enables it to clear the chips out of the hole. Davis recomm
7、ends, at a minimum, 600 to 800 psi of coolant pressure. “It works much better if you have higher pressure than that,” he added. To prevent those tiny coolant holes from becoming clogged with debris, Davis also recommends a 5m or finer coolant filter. Another recommendation is to machine a pilot, or
8、guide, hole to prevent the tool from wandering on top of the workpiece and aid in producing a straight hole. When applying a pilot drill, its important to select one with an included angle on its point thats equal to or larger than the included angle on the through-coolant drill that follows. The pi
9、lot drills diameter should also be slightly larger. For example, if the pilot drill has a 120 included angle and a smaller diameter than a through-coolant drill with a 140 included angle, “then youre catching the coolant-fed drills corners and knocking those corners off,” Davis said, which damages t

Davis suggests a pecking cycle that is 30 to 50 percent of the diameter per peck depth, depending on the workpiece material. This clears the chips, preventing them from packing in the flute valleys.Lubricious
11、 ChillTo further aid chip evacuation, Davis recommends applying an oil-based metalworking fluid instead of a waterbased coolant because oil provides greater lubricity. But if a shop prefers using coolant, the fluid should include EP (extreme pressure) additives to increase lubricity and minimize foa
12、ming. “If youve got a lot of foam,” Davis noted, “the chips arent being pulled out the way they are supposed to be.” He added that another way to enhance a tools slipperiness while extending its life is with a coating, such as titanium aluminum nitride. TiAlN has a high hardness and is an effective
13、coating for reducing heats impact when drilling difficult-to-machine materials, like stainless steel. David Burton, general manager of Performance Micro Tool, Janesville, Wis., disagrees with the idea of coating microtools on the smaller end of the spectrum. “Coatings on tools below 0.020 typically
14、have a negative effect on every machining aspect, from the quality of the initial cut to tool life,” he said. Thats because coatings are not thin enough and negatively alter the rake and relief angles when applied to tiny tools. However, work continues on the development of thinner coatings, and Bur

The microdrills Performance of

All the tools are without through-coolant capability. “I had a customer drill a 0.004-dia. hole in stainless steel, and he was amazed he could do it with a circuit-board drill,” Burton noted, adding that pecking and running at a high spindle speed increase the drills effectiveness. The requirements for how fast microtools should rotate depend on t
