Method for Determining the Limits of Elasticity and Proportionality of Materials for Subsequent Drilling of Workpieces in the Stress–strain State

Abstract

Drilling holes is one of the most common operations in the manufacture of parts. As a result, improving the efficiency of this process is an urgent task. To improve the efficiency of the drilling process, a method was developed at the Southwestern University for drilling with pre–stressed–deformed material of the workpiece, in which the sample is subjected to elastic deformation at a load that does not exceed the proportionality limit of the workpiece material, that is, when the load is removed, the dimensions of the workpiece remain the same. As part of this work, an experimental device was developed and designed to determine the limits of elasticity and proportionality of materials for subsequent drilling of workpieces in a stress–strain state. This invention will improve the automation and accuracy of measurement. An example of measurement and calculation is considered. Calculation formulas for determining the measurement error are given.
