Workpiece & Challenge
Crankshafts are typically forged steel or ductile iron with high hardness and toughness. The most difficult operation is deep oil-hole drilling (often above 10xD), where chips can jam and exit quality can become unstable.
Automotive Crankshaft Oil-Hole Drilling
This case focuses on long-depth oil-hole machining on crankshafts, where stable chip evacuation, tool life, and hole quality are critical in mass production.
Recommended Process Strategy
Use customized 솔리드 초경 coolant-thru 트위스트 드릴 with MQL (minimum 수량 lubrication) to improve chip evacuation stability, lower coolant and maintenance costs, and 고객 지원 cleaner production.
Tool Design Highlights
- Optimized flute geometry with wider chip pocket
- Polished flute for lower chip friction and smoother evacuation
- Specialized core design balancing rigidity and chip flow
- Arc-type flank + special chisel edge + curved cutting edge
- Fine-ground margin to reduce workpiece friction and wear
