Development of software to calculate of friction process parameters used in friction drilling process

Abstract

Friction drilling processes are used frequently in hot forming operations. This process is similar todrilling processes but it has not chips and used to join of thin-walled metal components. The createdfrictional heat plasticizes the material and allows the punch type tool to enter the material surface,thus creating additional heat by friction. By the feeding tool pressure, it is advancing into the materialsurface while creating a hole. An analytic model and software was developed to calculate the frictiondrilling process parameters as torque and axial power, heat transfer coefficient for friction drillingprocess in this study.
