Abstract
In the present research, the effects of the tool spindle speed and the conical angle on the hole
diameter, bushing height and bushing thickness of the thermally drilled AA7075 aluminum alloy sheets were
investigated. The AA75075 Al sheets have 3.4 mm thickness. Three different tools, made from H13 tool steel,
with 25o, 30o and 35o conical angles were manufactured. The holes were drilled at different spindles speeds,
typically, 3100 rpm, 3400 rpm and 3700 rpm. Both regression analysis (RA) and artificial neural (AN) modeling
techniques were used for prediction the effect of the spindle speed and the conical angle on the hole diameter,
bushing height and bushing thickness. The results revealed that the spindle rotational speed and conical angle
affects the hole diameter, bushing height and bushing thickness. The mean absolute errors for the developed
regression models were about 0.0439506, 0.204691 and 0.0595062 for models used to predict the hole diameter,
bushing height and bushing thickness, respectively. The hole diameter, bushing height and thickness were
successfully predicted using artificial neural network (ANN) modelling. The MLP neural network architecture
2‐7‐3 with Tanh transfer function exhibited the best performance with 83.62% accuracy. There is a good
agreement between the measured results and simulated outputs obtained with the ANN modelling.
