Abstract

Particle board serves numerous functions such as cabinetry, tabletops, shelving, wall & floor panels, etc. Though Particle boards are much cheaper compared to solid wood, machining the material by optimizing the process parameters is a big challenge. Drilling is the major operation during final assembly of particle board, where fasteners are used to join together to bring final shape to the product. In this paper, the operation parameters such as speed, feed, drill diameter has been considered during drilling operation performed on Particle board and the output responses-surface roughness of the drilled hole and the Thrust force acting on the board during drilling are measured. Good surface finish of the hole ensures reduction of localised stresses around the hole due to fastening. Reduced Thrust force contributes to lesser delamination in particle board. Hence minimisation of both surface roughness and delamination is desired and hence optimisation of both responses is done simultaneously using grey relational analysis.
