HIGH PRODUCTIVITY DRILLING TOOLS VOLUME 2 MATERIALS METROLOGY AND FAILURE ANALYSIS 2ED (HB 2024)

This completely updated volume covers tool materials, tolerances, an inspection of drilling tools, requirements of tool drawings with examples, and methodologies and procedures of failure analysis. It introduces a new line of HP drilling tools called VPA designs and brings it into sharp focus signifying its importance in drilling operations.

High-Productivity Drilling Tools: Materials, Metrology, and Failure Analysis further develops the concept of the metrology of the drilling tools introduced in the first edition. For the first time, the relevant metrological parameters are clearly defined with tolerance for HPHD with practical examples of step-by-step inspection/measurement using advanced tool measurement microscopes and CNC machines. A pros and cons list as a quick and easy decision-making tool for the choice of measuring equipment for a particular application is offered along with practical examples of drilling tool drawings to help tool designers, cutting tool and manufacturing engineers, and users in their everyday activities in the design and selection of HPDT for a particular application. An unparalleled presentation of metalworking fluids (MWFs, a.k.a. coolants) is given and covers all the start of the business: selection, implementation in HPDT and drilling operation, monitoring, and maintenance. A two-step procedure for successful implementation of near-dry machining (NDM) or minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is presented, and a discussion of the wear of the drilling tool, its proper assessments, and metrics are provided in the evaluation of tool life and quality of machined holes.

This practical book should be on the shelves of all industrial engineers, those working in production and manufacturing, process designers, tool material designers, cutting tool designers, and quality specialists. Researchers, senior undergraduate students, and graduate students will also find this book full of very helpful reference information and the source of new ideas and notions in drilling tool development.

This book is also available as a set - Drills: High-Productivity Drilling Tools, 2-Volume Set (9781032203508).

Viktor P. Astakhov earned his PhD in mechanical engineering from Tula State Polytechnic University, Tula-Moscow, Russia, in 1983. He was awarded a DSc designation (Dr. habil., Docteur d’État) and the title “State Professor of Ukraine” in 1991 for the outstanding service rendered during his teaching career and for the profound impact his work had on science and technology. An internationally recognized educator, researcher, and mechanical engineer, he has won a number of national and international awards for his teaching and research. In 2011, he was elected to the SME College of Fellows.

Besides his teaching engagements, Dr. Astakhov currently serves as the tool research and application manager of Production Service Management Co. which is a part of EVIE Group of companies, a large international tool management company that provides tooling service to many industries as the automotive, aerospace, power, medical and others. He has published monographs and textbooks, book chapters, and many papers in professional journals as well as in trade periodicals. He has authored the following books: Drills: Science and Technology of Advanced Operations, Metal Working Fluids: Fundamentals and Recent Advances, Geometry of Single-Point Turning Tools and Drills: Fundamentals and Practical Applications, Tribology of Metal Cutting, Physics of Strength and Fracture Control, and Mechanics of Metal Cutting. He also serves as the editor in chief, associate editor, board member, reviewer, and advisor for many international journals and professional societies.
