Abstract - Bit selection is considered to be an important
task in drilling optimization process. To select a bit is
considered as an important issue in drilling. In the present
work we have considered a twist drill bit of HSS material
as a model for getting the results compared to get more
safe and efficient material from beta titanium alloy and
alpha titanium alloy. Modelling of drill bit is done on
SOLIDWORKS 2018 and the analysis is being performed on
the ANSYS WORKBENCH 19.2 software. The geometrical
shape and input process conditions are same for both
materials. The titanium alloy which is widely used in the
field of biomedical applications is being examined with the
HSS which is mostly applicable in majority of the
applications. According to the analysis results, it is
observed that the beta titanium alloy is showing the
maximum effective strain with minimum equivalent stress
as compared with alpha titanium alloy.
Key Words: Drill bit, ANSYS WORKBENCH 19.2,
SOLIDWORKS, beta and alpha titanium alloy.
1. INTRODUCTION
Drilling is the process most commonly associated with
producing machined holes, because it is simple, quick and
economical. Drilling is one of the most complex machining
processes. The chief characteristic that distinguishes itfrom
other machining operations is its angle tool.Drillingisone of
the basic machining process of making holes and it is
essentially for manufacturing industry like Aerospace
industry, watch manufacturing industry, Automobile
industry, medical industries and semiconductors.Especially
Drilling is necessary in industries for assembly related to
mechanical fasteners. It is reported that around55000holes
are drilled as a complete single unitproductionoftheAir bus
A350 aircraft. The challenged of new modern machining
industries is focusing on the gaining of high quality, in term
of work piece dimensional accuracy, surface finishing, very
high production rate, less wear on the cutting tools and in
the term of economy of the cost saving. Manufacturing
enterprises presently have to deal with increasing demands
for improved product quality, tool life, less wear and cutting
force. In today’s fast changing situation in manufacturing
industries, applications of optimization techniques in metal
cutting processes is necessary for a manufacturing unit to
work effectively to severe competitiveness and growing
demand of quality product in the market.
1.1. Nomenclature of the twist drill bit:
 Drill: A drill is an end-cutting tool forproducingholes.It
has one or more cutting edges, and flutes to allow fluids
to enter and chips to be ejected. The drill is composed of
a shank, body and point.
 Shank: The shank is the part of the drill that is held and
driven. It may be straight or tapered.
 Tang: The tang is a flattened portion at the end of the
shank that fits into a driving slot of the drill holder on
the spindle of the machine.
 Body: The body of the drill extends from the shank to
the point, and contains the flutes. During sharpening, it
is the body of the drill that is partially ground away.
 Point: The point is the cutting end of the drill.
 Flutes: Flutes are grooves that are cut or formed in the
body of the drill to allow fluids to reach the point and
chips to reach the workpiece surface. Although straight
flutes are used in some cases, they are normally helical.
 Land: The land is the remainder of the outside of the
drill body after the flutes is cut. The land is cut back
somewhat from the outside drill diameter to provide
clearance.
 Margin: The margin is a short portionofthelandnotcut
away for clearance. It preserves the full drill diameter.
 Web: The web is the central portion of the drill body
that connects the lands.
 Chisel edge: The edge ground on the tool point along
the web is called the chisel edge. It connects the cutting
lips.
 Lips: The lips are the primary cutting edges of the drill.
They extend from the chisel point totheperipheryofthe
drill.
 Axis: The axis of the drill is the centerline of the tool. It
runs through the web and is perpendicular to the
diameter.
 Neck: Some drills are made with a relieved portion
between the body and the shank. This is called the drill
neck. In addition to these terms that define the various
parts of the drill, there are a number of terms that apply
to the dimensions of the drill, including the important
drill angles. Among these terms are:
 Length: Along with its outside diameter,theaxial length
of a drill is listed when the drill size is given. In addition,
shank length, flute length and neck length are often
used.

 Body diameter clearance: The height of the step from
the margin to the land is called the body diameter
clearance.
 Web thickness: The web thickness is the smallest
dimension across the web. It is measured at the point
unless otherwise noted. Web thickness will often
increase in going up the body away from the point, and
it may have to be ground down during sharpening to
reduce the size of the chisel edge. This process is called
"web thinning."
 Helix angle: The angle that the leading edge of the land
makes with the drill axis is called the helix angle. Drills
with various helix angles are available for different
operational requirements.
 Point angle: The included angle between the drill lipsis
called the point angle. It is varied for different
workpiece materials.
 Lip relief angle: Corresponding to the usual relief
angles found on other tools is the lip relief angle. It is
measured at the periphery.
 Chisel edge angle: The chisel edge angle is the angle
between the lip and the chisel edge,asseenfromthe end
of the drill.

2. MATERIALS & METHOD
Bit selection, like the selection of the correct WOB, RPM and
hydraulics, is dependent upon a degree of trial and error.
Unfortunately, there is no fool proof method of selecting the
best available drilling bit for theformationstobedrilled.The
aim of any bit selection programme is to reduce the trial and
error to a minimum. There are many proposed methods for
bit selection and often more thanone isusedbeforereaching
a decision. Bit selection methods include:
 Cost analysis
 Dull bit evaluation
 Offset well bit record analysis
 Offset well log analysis
 IADC bit coding
 Manufacturers' product guides
 Geophysical data analysis
 General geological considerations
The drill-bit model which is used in this analysis is of twist
drill bit type. The standard diameter of thistypeofdrill-bitis
8mm. The point angle and flute length are 118° and 80 mm
respectively.

2.1 Design of drill bit using SOLIDWORKS Software
A 3D model of the twist drill bitwithgivenspecifications was
drawn using SOLIDWORKS with the dimensions shown in
Table 1.
Fig - 3 Horizontal view of drill bit.
Fig - 4 Isometric view of drill bit.
FEA-based simulation for deformation, maximum principal
stress and maximum shear stress was carried out using
ANSYS 19.2 workbench software. For analysis of stress and
deformation in drill bit, torque data is required. Torquedata
for twist drill bit were obtained from reference. The value of
torque is loaded into the model forsimulation.The3Dmodel
was imported to ANSYS. After defining the tool material and

the physical and material properties, meshing was carried
out. Number of nodes was2110andnumberof elements was
1003 of drill bit after meshing is shown in Fig. The model
was then solved for the required output data.
2.2 Meshing the model: Meshing is probably the most
important part in any of the computer simulations, because
it can show drastic changes in results you get. Meshing
means you create a mesh of some grid-points called 'nodes’.
It's done with a variety of tools & options available in the
software.
The results are calculated by solving the relevant governing
equations numerically at each of the nodes of the mesh. The
governing equations are almost always partial differential
equations, and Finite element method is used to find
solutions to such equations. The pattern and relative
positioning of the nodes also affect the solution, the
computational efficiency & time.
Number of nodes: 2110
Numbers of elements: 1003

3. RESULT & DISCUSSION
From above analysis we can see that there are total two
materials (Alpha titaniumalloy andBetatitaniumalloy)used
for analysis and got the different result with parameter,from
that the beta titanium alloy is best of them which comes in
the nearby comparison with HSS. Usually drill bits are made
from HSS and Cobalt by using forging but we mostly we use
HSS as a material for drill bit making. Thus we have used
different materials for overall design of drill bit to check the
von misses stress and total deformation under same
condition of momentum with fix support.

4. CONCLUSIONS
The current research shows the finite element method
analysis of twist drill bit made from alpha and beta titanium
alloys with HSS material using static structural analysis on
ANSYS WORKBENCH 19.2. The boundary conditions
assumed as 100 Nm as moment with one end fixed has
applied to all materials, whereas the tool geometry is same
for all. Finally, it can be concluded that from both the
materials, beta titanium alloy issaferthanthealpha titanium
alloy on comparison with HSS. The resultant values for beta
titanium alloy are: maximum equivalent elastic strain is
6.7536e-5 mm/mmandmaximumequivalentstressis7.8258
MPa with total deformation of about 0.006728 mm.

However, the equivalent stress formation is more for alpha
titanium alloy.
6092/SiC/25p-T6 Al MMC is best suitable material if cost is
no issue, otherwise Al Alloy 2024-T6 among these four
materials is good for connecting rod obtained from this
research analysis.
Scope of Future Research: Based on the conducted
research, the following areas are recommended for future
research:
 This thesis has dealt with the reliability and
maintainability analysis of drill bit and future research
should focus on greater use of DRILL BIT analysis to
enhance its life cycle.
 More research is needed on calculation of the cost of
improving the drill bit design in order to obtain the drill
bits in a cost-effective way.
 Due to competition, the manufacturing company may
need to reduce the price of drill bits. As a consequence,
the reliability of its structure will eventually be
downgraded.
 More research is needed to estimate the optimal
preventive maintenance replacement intervals of the
drill bits.
 Also, this could give us the addition in the body of
knowledge in the area of drilling with specific contextto
the selected combinations of work material and tool.
