Hole Damage in Drilling of Reactive Powder Concrete
Publication: Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering
Volume 23, Issue 12
Abstract
This study deals with the analysis of hole damage in the drilling of reactive powder concrete (RPC). Attention was first focused on the definition of an original approach on the basis of digital image processing (DIP) to quantify the extent of the damage. Then, an experimental approach, on the basis of the design of experiments (DoE), was performed to evaluate the influence of drilling operational parameters (namely, cutting speed, feed, and hole diameter) on the thrust force, torque, and RPC hole accuracy. The extent of hole damage was found to be influenced by the settings of feed and hole diameter, with cutting speed playing a minor role. Tool vibrations and troublesome centering procedures of the tools during drilling further complicated the interpretation of the hole damage.
