In VAD: Cooling effect of hg + not enough time for the cutting energy to propagate into the tool and the workpiece materials.
The cooling of the tool by the air flow in the conical gap causes the fluctuation in ‘Tb’ in VAD by >100 K.
The maximum temperature of the tool base ‘Tb’ in VAD is less than conventional drilling by more than 100 K.
The rotational speed has a strong effect on the heat dissipation.

Axial forces “FA”: Feed has the most significant
effect on FA (+): Feed chip thickness and FA.
Rotational speed ‘n’ has the least effect on FA (-).
ASR causes FA
Different force levels obtained for the same ASR value; ASR is notan intrinsic property that can uniquely control the VAD forces.

Results: Delamination and thermal damage In all conventional drilling tests: Exit delamination + certain
degree of thermal damage observed. In all VAD tests: No noticeable thermal damage
Although 360oC was reached on the tool (not the wp); DT reduction during interrupted cutting > 100K. Upon re-engagement, Tc is further reduced < 280oC.
In VAD at low feeds: Delamination totally eliminated. Increase in delamination in the range of high feed, and low/

1. The force reduction in the Intermittent cutting in VAD is achieved through the progressive removal of the formed chip, provided that A is moderate w.r.t. DOC.
2. The thermal performance of the VAD process is enhanced by the formation of vortices in the air gap created by the tool separation.
3. The axial speed ratio ASR is not intrinsic property and cannot uniquely define the cutting temperature and force in VAD.
4. The VAD process can eliminate exit delamination and thermal damage (al low/ medium feeds).
5. Generally, the optimum range of LFHA-VAD is defined by the combination of high speed with low-to-medium feed, low ASR and high frequency.
6. A novel semi analytical model was developed to accurately predict the transient features of the forces in conventional and VAD, considering the effects of: Process variables. Material layup configurations (on the chip formation mechanism). Material deformation during drilling. Tool geometry ad rake angle variation along the primary cutting edge.
