Abstract

CFRP (Carbon fiber reinforced polymer) composites are widely used in manufacturing industries since it offers attractive mechanical and physical properties like high strength, high modulus, and low density. Conventional drilling is an inevitable machining operation which is mostly performed for making hole in composites. In this study, CFRP composite was fabricated as a plate structure of 4 mm in thickness to investigate its drilling behavior. The drilling behavior was experimentally investigated through different drilling parameters. The effect of different drilling parameters namely axial feed (45, 63, and 90 mm/min), rotational speed for the spindle (250, 710, 2000 RPM), and three various geometries of the drill bits are analyzed on two machining characteristics one is torque other one is radial force and the last one is highest temperature during drilling of CFRP composites. The drilling parameters were also optimized through Taguchi technique. The relative significance of the drilling parameters was obtained by analysis of variance (ANOVA).
