  • Developed a predictive model correlating parameters with drilling responses.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified optimal parameters: 10° bevel angle, 1200 rpm rotational speed, and 20 mm/min feed speed.
    • Achieved minimum drilling force, delamination coefficient, and hole exit burr height.
    • Demonstrated that smaller bevel angles, feed speeds, and higher rotation speeds enhance drilling quality.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimized Kirschner wire drilling parameters significantly reduce mechanical damage.
    • The established RSM model provides a reliable prediction of drilling outcomes.
    • Findings offer a pathway to enhance surgical bone drilling efficiency and safety.
