In this paper, a polycrystalline diamond drill was designed to machine non-ferrous difficult-to-machine materials. The effect of the sharpening methods for drill flank surfaces on the compressive strength was investigated by using finite element method. The results show that the compressive strength of plane grinding is better than that of conical grinding method, however, with the increasing of the clearance angle of the drill, the compressive stress increased significantly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
