Effect of Cutting Speed on Thrust Force and Torque in Drilling of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Based on Defects Tolerance

Abstract:

Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composites are being used to replace metallic materials in a wide range of industries. In the drilling of GFRP, the quality of hole is strongly dependent on process parameters. The aim of this work is to investigate the effect of cutting speed and drill material on thrust force and torque in drilling of GFRP. Drilling tests were carried out using HSS and tipped carbide twist drills and damage development during drilling was studied. The critical thrust for Iso-phthalic glass composite was found to be 60 N.
