Analyzing Force, Delamination, Roughness, and Chips of Drilled Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Composite Plate Experiment

The attributes of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite have expanded their utility from aerospace to domestic appliances and new possibilities for their usage emerge almost from time to time. So that it can be used in many possible applications, the laminate needs to be drilled for assembly purposes. Considering their compliance to high temperature process from drilling, various phenomena may occur during this process, e.g. delamination, which affect in both mechanical properties as well as occurrence of manufacturing damage of a treated material. The results compare drilling process in various machining parameters along with the analysis of force, delamination, roughness, and chip produced with expectations to extend the life cycle of these laminates as a consequence of enhanced reliability.
