Abstract

Friction drilling as a non-chip drilling method require a special formed tool. This tool can be combined with conventional drilling machines as well as milling machines, also CNC ones. The choice depends only on the factors related to production volumes. Tool must have high durability properties to reach proper efficiency level. This means the number of boreholes that can be formed while maintaining the shape and structure of the surface within the dimensions tolerances limits. High temperature in process also cause a high durability properties. These article presents a review of apossible solutions on tools mounting devices and tools functionality used in friction drilling process.

Kacper Szwałek is a Ph.D. student in Department of Production Engineering of Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Koszalin University of Technology. His first title received in 2015 in the field of Management and Production Engineering. Engineer's thesis discussed about improving of production process of heating device. Nearly two years later he received title Master of Science in Mechanics and Machine Design. Master thesis handled with research about stainless steel friction drilling process. Mainly issue of this studies was identify the relationship between feed rate, rotational speed and shape parameters as well as geometrical structure of the surface. Results of this thesis gave a begin of his Ph.D. studies in Koszalin. He pursues the job of mechanical designer in vacuum technique plant in Koszalin. He design machine parts and components for vacuum food packaging machines, pumps and prepare some other projects for special customers requests.
