Experimental Investigation of a Combined Drilling and Thread Milling Process: Thrilling
Résumé
This paper investigates a new thread making process called thrilling, which performs both drilling and thread milling with one tool. A simplified linear thread milling operation is performed to understand the forces associated with thread milling and number of engaged threads. Thrilling experiments are conducted to examine the process and associated forces. The forces measured during thrilling are compared to tapping results for the same size threads. The results show that forces in thrilling are significantly lower than those in tapping. The effects of both drilling and thread milling and their interaction on the thread quality have also been investigated.
