Experimental study on deep hole drilling of GH4169 alloy

GH4169 alloy material has good corrosion resistance, radiation resistance and other excellent properties, and has been widely used in aerospace and other manufacturing fields. At the same time, due to its severe machining hardening phenomenon and high cutting force during machining, it is also one of the typical difficult-to-machine materials, and the deep hole drilling of GH4169 alloy has been rarely studied. In this paper, the deep hole drilling test of GH4169 is studied, and BTA system is adopted in the test, the wear and failure modes of the cutting tool, and the change of chip morphology were analyzed. Results showed that the middle cutter tooth wear focused on central blade, the wear of the center tooth occurs mainly at the tip of the cutter tooth, the wear of edge tooth mainly occurs at the arc of the tool tip where the main cutting edge is connected with the secondary cutting edge: the chips produced by the central cutter tooth are mostly short and small c-shaped chips, the chip produced by the middle tooth is not easy to break the chip, most of which are elongated spiral chip, the cuttings produced by the edge tooth are not easy to discharge, and most of them are hard spiral coils.
