Experimental Studies on the Influence of Cutting Parameters on Thrust Force and Torque during Drilling of GFRP with SiC Fillers

Abstract:

The paper discusses the influence of cutting parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate and point angle on thrust force and torque while drilling of Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) composites with Silican Carbide (SiC) fillers. The experiments were conducted during the drilling of GFRP with SiC fillers using four standard twist drills of point angles 90º, 100º, 110º and 120º. Conclusions thus drawn are presented and can be useful for the selection of the best cutting parameters.
