Experimental Investigation on Drilling Force and Hole Quality when Drilling of T800S/250F CFRP Laminate

Abstract:

High-strength carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) T800S/250F is used as the large commercial aircraft material for manufacturing the main load-bearing structural components. Drilling is the mostly used in final machining process of CFRP laminates, while the delamination and burrs occur frequently at the drill exit in the CFRP laminate. In this paper, the machinability of T800S/250F was investigated in term of drilling force and hole quality by using a twist drill and a dagger drill. The experimental results indicated that high spindle speed and low feed rate favor the reduction of thrust force for both drill bits. High spindle speed is a preference to gain the good hole quality at drill exit especially for the dagger drill, which also shows excellent drilling performance than the twist drill and was more suitable for drilling of T800S/250F CFRP laminate.
