I am going to bolt and dowel pin an alloy 954 aluminum bronze part to an AL 6061-T6511 part. I plan to bolt the parts together then match drill and ream for the dowel pins. Final reamed hole size is 5 mm. Thickness of aluminum bronze piece is 9 mm. I understand 954 aluminum bronze can be challenging to machine. A few questions:
What kind and size of drill bit should I use before reaming?
What kind of reamer should I use? Carbide? No. of flutes? Spiral flutes?
What speeds, feeds, and coolant should I use for both drilling and reaming?
