Design and Engineering Support of the Process of Deep Drilling of Heat-resistant Steel

Purpose of research. To attain the specified parameters of deep drilling accuracy by creating design and engineering support for the deep drilling process corresponding to the current level of technical and technological development.Methods. Analysis of machine tools and tool systems for drilling deep holes based on the monitoring of the conditions of machinery, equipment, cutting tools and tooling market of leading domestic and global manufacturers. Synthesis of a process system that ensures the creation of a product that meets the world level of quality with maximum process performance.Results. The design and engineering support of the process of deep drilling of high-alloy heat–resistant steel using modern equipment with a high-performance tool - a gun drill, was created. The equipment for the deep drilling process – an anti-vibration rest, an oil receiver, a clamping chuck, a guide bush are proposed. The conditions for the control of flow chips formed during deep drilling with a gun drill and its removal from the processing zone with a cooling mixture are determined.Conclusion. On the basis of the tooling for deep drilling of heat-resistant steel, the possibilities of using both existing at enterprises equipment and modern but expensive equipment, taking into account the series production, are shown. Both of these ways make it possible to ensure the specified accuracy and roughness of processing.To implement the deep drilling process, it is required to design a special tool - a gun drill, taking into account the properties of the material being processed. When implementing the deep drilling process applying specialized equipment, the machining pattern is provided by the tooling of the machine. When implementing the process applying universal equipment, the selected machining pattern is connected with the design and manufacture of the tooling – a clamping chuck, an oil receiver, a guide bush. These tasks are implemented in two ways: by the specialists of the enterprise or involving third-party specialized organizations to design attachments and cutting tools. The choice of the way to implement the deep drilling process depends on the availability of equipment, the size of the batch of parts and technical and economic assessment.
