This paper presents an investigation on the influence of the drilling parameters such as feed rate, spindle speed and drill tool diameter onto the delamination factor of the jute reinforced unsaturated polyester composite. Natural fibre based composite are mostly used for commodity application and often subjected to drilling during applications and may generate delamination of drilled holes on the workpiece. The composite was fabricated using woven jute fibre via vacuum bagging method followed a high temperature curing using hot press. The fibre was kept at 40 vol. %. The main effect and the interaction between the specified factors of feed rate (20-100mm/min), spindle speed (500-1500 rpm) and drill tool diameter (4-8 mm) with delamination factor as corresponding respond was structured via the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) based on three-level Box-Behnken design of experiment and the ANOVA. The levels of importance of the process parameters on flexural properties are determined by using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The optimised drilling process parameters obtained as 24.38 mm/min of feed rate, 1146.14 rpm of spindle speed and 5.51 mm drill tool diameter achieved the most minimal delamination factor. The feed rate and spindle speed were perceived as the most influential drilling parameters on the delamination factor of the jute reinforced unsaturated polyester composite.

The drilling process has been mostly used in composite panel machining to be a final product. It becomes a critical process when the composite product requires a high hole precision for the purpose of assembly and quality standard. Machining Kevlar composite is a difficult task due its hardness, fiber layer bounding and fiber orientation. The cutting condition needs to be controlled carefully to minimize the vibration, cutting temperature and hole delamination. This paper discusses the investigation of hole delamination in drilling Kevlar composite panel. The twist drill type of High-Speed Steel (HSS) drilling tool with 12 mm diameter was used to drill a 4 mm thick Kevlar composite panel. Three levels of spindle speed (1000 rpm, 1400 rpm and 2000 rpm) and three levels of feed rate (130 mm/min, 160 mm/min and 180 mm/min) were selected as the configuration of cutting condition. The hole diameter was measured and was compared to the drill tool diameter. The result of the experiment shows that the cutting condition gave significant effect to the drill hole delamination factor. The highest delamination factor was 1.36 and achieved by drilling condition with spindle speed of 1000 rpm and feed rate of 160 mm/min. The lowest delamination factor was 1.161 and achieved by drilling condition with spindle speed of 2000 rpm and feed rate of 130 mm/min.

In this paper, a comprehensive experimental investigation was carried out to precisely characterize the delamination and uncut fiber in the drilling process. A digital imaging procedure was developed in order to calculate the damage resulted from the drilling process. A novel method is proposed in this article based on image intensity to verify the obtained results. A full factorial experimental design was performed to evaluate the importance of the drilling parameters. Among other process parameters, feed rate, cutting speed, and tool diameter are the principal factors responsible for the delamination damage size during the drilling. The drilling process was assessed based on two proposed incurred damage factors, specifically the delamination factor and uncut fiber factor. Experimental results demonstrated that the feed rate was the paramount parameter for both delamination and uncut fiber factors. It was observed that both factors increased with an increase in the feed rate. Additionally, by increasing the tool diameter, the delamination and uncut fiber factors significantly increase. The effects of the cutting speed on damage factors were not linear. The minimum delamination factor and uncut fiber factor were obtained at the cutting speed of 1500 and 2500 r/min, respectively.

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP)-stainless steel stacks used in the aircraft structural components. The assembly process of this components requires mechanical joining using bolt and nut. The drilling process is commonly used for producing hole to position the bolt correctly. Thrust force and torque are responses that used to evaluate the performance of drilling process. The quality characteristic of these responses are “smaller-is-better.” The aim of this experiment is to identify the combination of process parameters for achieving required multiple performance characteristics in drilling process of GFRP-stainless steel stacks materials. The three important process parameters, i.e., point angle, spindle speed, and feed rate were used as input parameters. Point angle was set at two different levels, whilethe other two were set at three different levels. Hence, a 2 x 3 x 3 full factorial was used as designexperiments. The experiments were replicated two times. The optimization was conducted by using genetic algorithm method. The minimum thrust force and torque could be obtained by using point angle, spindle speed and feed rate of 118o, 2383 rpm, 62 mm/min respectively.

Drilling is a secondary material removal and usually carried out to facilitate fastening of parts together. Drilling of composite materials is not usually a problem-free process. Issues related to delamination composite laminates need to be addressed because it introduces the stress concentration point on the composite. This study focussed on the influence of process parameters such as spindle speed, feed rate, type of drill bits and geometry on the extend of delamination experienced by the composite during the drilling process of kenaf-glass fibre-reinforced unsaturated polyester composite, and the delamination measurements were taken under a microscope. Taguchi methods and analysis of variance were employed to find the optimal parameters. From the results, the most significant parameter was the feed rate. The minimum delamination was achieved when the feed rate was 0.05 mm/rev and spindle speed was 700r/min using both types of drill bits. The quality of the drill hole using the twist drill bit has been proven to be better than the brad drill bit.

This paper presents the effect of drilling parameters on surface roughness and surface appearance by applying response surface method (RSM). The mathematical model for correlating the interactions of drilling parameters such as spindle speed, feed rate and drill diameter on surface roughness was developed. RSM methodology was used as it is a technique that most practical and effective way to develop a mathematical model. In addition, this method also can reduce trial and error in experiment. Since the number of factors are three; spindle speed, feed rate and drill diameter, by applying RSM the total numbers of experiment involved are 20 experimental observations. From the experimental result, it is found that the minimum surface roughness on the hole was 1.06 mm from combination of 2000 rpm spindle speed, 78 mm/min feed rate and 2.5 mm drill diameter. While the maximum surface roughness 2.59 mm was the combination of 250 rpm spindle speed, 153 mm/min feed rate and 3.5 mm drill diameter. A mathematical equation was developed with percentage of error are 0% to 29%. Thus, from the result we understand that to find the smooth surface in drilling process, it needs higher spindle speed with lower feed rate and smaller diameter.

Millions of holes are produced in many industries where efficient drilling is considered the key factor in their success. High-quality holes are possible with the proper selection of drilling process parameters, appropriate tools, and machine setup. This paper deals with the effects of drilling parameters such as spindle speed and feed rate on the chips analysis and the hole quality like surface roughness, hole size, circularity, and burr formation. Al7075-T6 alloy, commonly used in the aerospace industry, was used for the drilling process, and the dry drilling experiments were performed using high-speed steel drill bits. Results have shown that surface roughness decreased with the increase in spindle speed and increased with the increase in the feed rate. The hole size increased with the high spindle speed, whereas the impact of spindle speed on circularity error was found insignificant. Furthermore, short and segmented chips were achieved at a high feed rate and low spindle speed. The percentage contribution of each input parameter on the output drilling parameters was evaluated using analysis of variance (ANOVA).

This thesis deals with carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) composites, an advanced material which is widely used in manufacturing aircrafts because of their unique mechanical and physical properties. The research mainly involved drilling of CFRP. This study is focused on analyzing the thrust force and delamination against drilling parameters namely feed rate, spindle speed and type of tool materials. Also, the optimal parameters were chosen using an optimization method called D optimal. It was observed that the higher the feed rate and spindle speed employed, the higher the thrust force and delamination occur. The split point fibre (SPF) drill gave the lowest values of thrust force and delamination. Based on the optimal parameters, a verification test was conducted and the prediction error was 2.3% and 5.6% for thrust force and delamination respectively. This shows, that the optimal parameters obtained is reliable as it could improve the process considerably. The results of this study could be used as a reference for further research and studies on drilling of CFRP.

A wonderful unique research developments in modeling surface roughness and optimization of the predominant parameters to get a surface finish of desired level since only suitable selection of cutting parameters can get a better surface finish, so the objective of this work is to study the milling process parameters which include tool diameter, feed rate, spindle speed, and depth of cut resulting in optimal values of the surface roughness during machining AL-alloy 7024. The machining operation implemented on XK7124 3-axis CNC milling machine. The effects of the selected parameters on the chosen characteristics have been accomplished using Taguchi’s parameter design approach. The parameters considered are – depth of cut with two levels (0.2, 0.5 mm), tool diameter with two levels (6, 8 mm), spindle speed with two levels (1000, 2500 rpm), and finally feed rate with two levels (200, 500 mm/min). Analysis of the results showed that the optimal settings for low values of surface roughness are large tool diameter (8 mm), high spindle speed (2500 r.p.m), low feed rate (200 mm/min) and high depth of cut (0.5 mm). Response Table for mean of surface roughness showed that tool diameter has the most effected factors (rank one) followed by feed rate (rank two) then depth of cut which is the third effected factors and finally spindle speed with the less effected factors of surface roughness (rank four).

The utilization of nanoparticle filled composite materials in many different engineering fields has undergone a tremendous increase. Accordingly, the need for accurate machining of composites has increased enormously. In the present study, an attempt has been made to assess the factors influencing surface roughness on the machining of nanocomposites and base composites. The Taguchi L16 experimental design concept has been used for experimentation. The drilling experiments were conducted considering spindle speed, drill tool diameter, and feed rate as machining parameters. The empirical model was developed based on the input parameters. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) established the relation between predicted and experimental values. The regression model was found to be within the level of confidence with greater accuracy indicated by R2 value. The addition of Nanoclay and Graphene as fillers in the matrix improved the surface roughness of the hole. Feed rate and spindle speed were found to be the significant factors of machining and Graphene reinforced composites had better surface finish.
