Abstract:

Stainless steel 316 grade has broad applications in medical equipments. SS316 has property of corrosion resistance that provides its applications in various areas. This paper presents the optimization of process parameters (spindle speed, feed and slurry concentration) in abrasive assisted drilling. Also analysis of variance is carried out for the contribution of parameters and interaction among various factors. In present investigation we have taken Silicon Carbide as abrasive particles. Silicon carbide and water as slurry concentration by weight. SiC concentration varies from 15% to 25% are optimized using multiple performance characteristics for surface finish. This abrasive slurry concentration performs the dual function of coolant as well as cutting fluid. Feed rate and speed of spindle are most significant factors which affects the surface roughness. An overall improvement of 10% in surface finish has been obtained with abrasive assisted drilling.
