Reduction Of Vibration In Boring Tool By Using Carbon Fiber Laminate

Abstract

                                  In boring process, tool vibration is an important parameter which results in progressive tool wear, poor surface finish and cutting tool damage. This tool vibration was reduced by passive, semi-active and active techniques which are used by various researchers in the past. In this paper, various techniques employed to prevent tool vibration in boring operation are reviewed, analyzed and presented. It was inferred that the control of tool vibration was effective by utilizing appropriate damping mechanism in the boring process. Also, from the overall review of the literature, it was observed that as the tool wear started to progress, the tool vibration gets increased which leads to failure of the tool. In this paper, scope of developing a damper where tool vibration can be suppressed by varying the damping ability based on requirement was established.
