iomi@clicknet.ro; http://www.imst.pub.ro Abstract: - Mathematical models of axial force and torque, when drilling or widening are important for scientific research and / or industrial application as, thus it would be possible to determine optimum process parameters values or, predict force and torque values, once process parameters set.. Widening holes in stainless steel is many times required and, given the fact that existing data on this topic are very poor, a study on 10TiMoNiCr175 has been done and results presented by this paper. Key-Words: - mathematical model, widening, force, torque, stainless steel 1 Introduction The corrosion resistance of iron-chromium alloys was first recognized in 1821 by French metallurgist Pierre Berthier, who noted their resistance against attack by some acids and suggested their use in cutlery. There are over 150 grades of stainless steel, of which fifteen are most commonly used. [7], [10]. Their application fields are more and more versatile as well as challenging, due to their important physical and mechanical characteristics, specially, their high corrosion resistance to various chemical agents and their impressive good look. Stainless steel alloy is milled into coils, sheets, plates, bars, wire, and tubing to be used in cookware, cutlery, hardware, surgical instruments, major appliances, industrial equipment (for example, in sugar refineries) and as an automotive and aerospace structural alloy and construction material in large buildings – see figure 1 . Stainless steel parts usually need machining to geometric precision required. These materials are very tough, with low thermal conductivity and, while machining they do involve sever wear of the cutting tool, as well as, high value cutting forces [6]. As they are expensive materials, detailed research on their machinability would be opportune, so that optimum process parameters values to be set and, thus, high productivity and low cost stainless steel parts could be obtained. Specially when drilling and / or widening are involved, one important aspect of material’s machinability consists in axial cutting force and torque values. So, the higher these values, the poorer machinability properties and the higher energy consumption [3].

Specific literature presents relationships involving cutting force and torque but, when experimentally checking them, high difference of the modeled ones from the real experimental values can be noticed [2], [4], [6]. So, it has been considered appropriate the study presented by this paper, meaning to determine new adequate mathematical models of the axial force and torque in widening 10TiMoNiCr175 stainless steel holes.

2 Applied Methods Experimentally determining the mathematical model of parameters specific to a machining process, involves the definition of both independent and dependent variables associated to it [1]. Then, the appropriate experiments design has to be considered and, consequently, the fitted mathematical model should be obtained. The mathematical relations regarding axial cutting force in widening stainless steel material holes, that are mentioned by most of the articles and books dealing with this problem, do look like
[N] (1)
FFF zyf
xFz faDCF ⋅⋅⋅=
[Nm] (2) MMM zyf
xM faDCM ⋅⋅⋅=
where: Fz represents the axial cutting force; M – the torque; D – the diameter of the widening tool, [mm]; af – cutting feed, of the widening tool, [mm/rot]; f – cutting depth [mm] , , , - polytropic exponents; Fx Fy Mx My , - constants. FC MC
If experiments were carried out, once the values of , , , , , , and known, the same values of variables D, af and f experimented with different values of cutting speed, v, generated different axial force and torque values. So, one could think that the parameter not mentioned by relations (1) and (2), meaning cutting speed, should play an important role in axial force and torque values’ prediction.
FC MC Fx Fy Fz Mx My Mz
As consequence of the above mentioned, this paper presents new mathematical relations of axial cutting force and torque, where one more independent variable appear, meaning the cutting speed v [mm/rot]. So, the new, original proposed mathematical models are: [N] (3) vFFF wzy
fx
Fz vfaDCF ⋅⋅⋅⋅=
[Nm] (4) MMMM wzyf
xM vfaDCM ⋅⋅⋅⋅=
where: v is peripheral rotational speed of the drilling tool, usually mentioned as cutting speed [m/min]; , - polytropic exponents; Fw Mw For obtaining the constants and polytropic exponents’ values, relations (3) and (4) must be of linear type and, so, by logarithm their linear expressions are:

So, the first method applied was that of solving a five linear equations system – as there were five constants to be determined (C, x, y, z and w). The second method applied dealt with experiments design and regression analysis – done with a specialized software, DOE KISS. [5] Due to limited license rights, there could only be studied the two most significant variables influencing force and torque (based on solving previously mentioned (5) and (6) relations). Thus, there were further studied only D and f parameters. The experiments design (Central Composite Design, CCD) is evidenced in table 1. Regression analysis performed by the software results in models like:

Thus, knowing that initial dependence relationships were exponential – see relations (5) and (6) - and that the ones used in equations systems are obtained from the first ones, by logarithm – see relations (11) and (12) - the mathematical models of the axial force and torque, in widening 10TiMoNiCr175 stainless steel holes are :

[Nm] (14) 070.0664.0377.0844.004.1 vfaDM f ⋅⋅⋅⋅=
Due to the fact that relation (13) and (14) were obtained by solving classical equations system – meaning five unknown parameters and five equations, an improvement of improve the obtained mathematical models was considered to be right.
So, for the new set of experiments, the values of the independent variables af and v were set to 0.20 (mm/rot) and, respectively, 17.83 {m/min). The other two variables, meaning D and f were varied according to the CCD – DOE KISS software. It should be mentioned that, for each experience, replicates number equaled five. The obtained experimental results for axial force, Fz and torque, M are presented in table 3 Regression analysis results are presented in figure 3.

Some aspects, like the ones that follow, should be evidenced, meaning: → a factor is considered to have significant influence on the output as long as the P (2 Tail) value is less. or equal, to 0.05; → when using the software, there are considered the coded values for the variables studied → the relationship of coded and real variables values (x1, x2 and D, f) is defined by relation (13) – see, also relation (10) .

(15) 4 Conclusion Stainless steels application fields are more and more versatile as well as challenging, due to their important physical and mechanical characteristics, Stainless steel parts usually need machining to geometric precision required. This paper presents two methods used for determining new adequate mathematical models of the axial force and torque in widening 10TiMoNiCr175 stainless steel holes. The first method, consisted in solving a five linear equations system. Obtained models proofed that the factors significantly influencing axial force and torque values are the tool diameter, D and cutting depth, f. The second method, involved design of experiments and regression analysis. Using a specialized software (DOE KISS), there were obtained polynomial type models – that evidenced the influence of all studied variables combination, on axial force and torque values. Further research involves other process parameters and materials to be studied, as well as the application of obtained models on real time control of the machining processes.
