In this research we investigate the performance of drilling process in carbon fibre reinforced composite (CFC) material, titanium alloy and the hybrid stack of these two materials, using coated carbide drill bit. We study the effect of the process parameters such as the feed rate and speed on the induced forces and torques, also on the wear of drill and surface roughness of the holes. In the composite material the percentage of surface damage in both drilling CFC on its own and drilling in stack form is estimated. Also, the effect of worn drill on the surface damage is identified. In the titanium, the burr formation in stack and non-stack form is investigated. The wear of the drill results in increased forces and torques required for drilling. This increases the surface delaminations substantially at the entrance in drilling of CFC. However, the surface roughness of the holes reduces with the wear of the drill in CFC drilling. Also, the surface delamination and surface roughness of the holes in the CFC whilst drilled in hybrid form reduces significantly. This is despite the increase of the forces and torques required in drilling CFC in stack form.
