Temperature Field Study of Hole Drilling in Kevlar Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

The cutting heat, during the process of drilling fiber reinforced resin matrix composites, has a significant effect on the quality and the tool wear. In this paper, based on the homogenization hypothesis of the material and the finite difference method, a temperature field model for drilling unidirectional Kevlar composites was developed. During the drilling process, the heat source formed by cutting edge and chisel edge can be seen as a conical heat source. The results show that the temperature field distribution is ellipse away from the drilling zone with the longer axis paralleling to the fiber direction and changes close to the drilling zone.
