Vibration Drilling (VD) is a process that longitudinal wave is used for improving drilling conditions. In this process high frequency (more than 16 kHz) and low amplitude (often 2 to 30 ?m) is applied on tool while the engagement between tool and workpiece during machining process is connected and disconnected. This process against of ultrasonic drilling (with the help of abrasive grains) can be used for variety of materials, whether ductile or brittle. In ultrasonic drilling, ultrasonic vibrations is transmitted to the abrasive grains (suspended in a slurry) via ultrasonic head and material removal is effected by the help of oscillating abrasive grains that accelerate and impact on the workpiece surface repeatedly. The material removal in this process (UD) is done by brittle fracture mechanism. Therefore, this technique is applicable for brittle materials while VD can be used for both brittle and ductile materials. In this study the rotary vibration drilling tool was designed and fabricated for performing Vibration Drilling (VD). This tool is able to apply longitudinal wave through ultrasonic transducer and horn to a drill in a rotary mechanism. After primary tests and checking up the design and fabrication of tool set up, the effect of longitudinal wave in vibration drilling of Al2024-T6 was studied and compared with Ordinary Drilling (OD). The major objective of this study is the comparison of thrust force in both vibration and ordinary drilling process. Also some parameters like chip, burr, circularity and cylinderisity of the ultrasonically and conventionally drilled workpieces were measured and compared. In the first step, the first half of hole depth was done by vibration drilling then the vibration was switched off by generator and the next half of the hole depth was completed by ordinary drilling. After obtaining good results, then for every desirable cutting speed and feed rate, the complete hole was drilled with vibration (i.e. vibration drilling) and again with the same parameters another hole was completed without vibration (i.e. ordinary drilling). The achieved results show a drastic reduction in thrust force in vibration drilling rather than ordinary drilling. In vibration drilling, the oscillation motions of tool act like a chip breaker and cause the chips transform into discontinuous chips or because the impacts that are hit to chips (the vibro-impact mechanism), chips tend to change their morphology. In vibration drilling process, the chip adhering is declined that is because the length of chip contact with drill is reduced and therefore cause the reduction of friction. Burr formation is a negative factor in drilling process and has always been a challenge to industry. In vibration drilling, burrs can be eliminated without additional operations. In drilling process for enhancing hole precision and performing drilling process, exactly in defined place, centre hole is needed. The drill skidding in vibration drilling technique is almost eliminated and the drill is pierced downward quickly and more easily. The enhancement of surface finish in vibration drilling because of built-up edge reduction or elimination is also considerable. Keywords: Drilling; Ultrasonic; Al2024-T6; Vibration drilling
