Abstract

The Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites possess high strength, lightweight, fatigue strength and interlaminar shear strength. It is widely used in the fabrication and development of multifunctional components of aircraft, automotive, biomedical, sensors and other electronic applications. The manufacturing aspect of laminated carbon composites are significantly differs from metallic and nonmetallic materials. It is mainly due to the anisotropic and non-homogeneity behavior of carbon/polymers. Generally, plastic materials are produced into near-net shapes, but some manufacturing processes are still required to assemble several components. The fiber continuity in the machined surface deteriorates during drilling operations. The local internal damage like matrix cracks, fiber breakage, delamination etc. are developed, which cannot be examined without suitable magnification. Such losses decrease the mechanical efficiency of CFRP plates and also disturb their service life and load capacity. The appropriate choice of machining constraints can reduce the aforesaid drilling-generated damages. It is possible to apply optimization modules for varying constraints and multiple responses. Therefore, this chapter aims to review innovations centered around hole-making processes to improve the machining and machinability of CFRPs.
