Drilling of SiCp/Al Composites with Electroplating Diamond Drills

Abstract:

SiCp/Al composites have been used in a number of engineering applications including the consumer goods. However, the machining of these materials is very difficult because of the abrasive characteristics of the reinforced particulates. In this paper drilling studies on SiCp/Al composites with high volume fraction and large size SiC particles have been conducted by using electroplating diamond drills, and the influences of the cutting speed on the drilling force and surface roughness were investigated.
