Effect of Grit Size and Wall Thickness of Core Drill on Machining Quality at Hole Exit in Drilling Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics Laminate

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article focuses on the drilling of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) laminate with brazed diamond core drill under no cooling condition. The effect of grit size, wall thickness of core drill and feed speed on machining quality at the hole exit is studied. The experimental results indicate that the grit size has a significant influence on the diameter of the hole exit. The expanding factor of diameter at hole exit increases with the decrease of grit size. Both large wall thickness and high feed speed lead to serious drilling-induced defects of the hole exit. The drilling-induced defects at hole exit are transformed from broken-edge and burr to local tear.
