In practice, small components are integrated into large assemblies drilling holes in composite materials. Drilling defect free holes in composite presents many challenges during part assembly and services. This study presents the effects of cutting parameters used for drilling holes in glass fiber reinforced polymeric (GFRP) composites and hybrid fiber reinforced polymeric (HFRP) composites. Both the composites plates of 3 mm thickness were fabricated using a hand lay-up technique for the purpose of evaluating the effects of parameters on the quality of drilled holes. The holes were drilled using a 5 mm solid carbide twist drill at different spindle speed and feed rate. The quality of holes was assessed with respect to damage factor (Fd) and surface roughness (Ra) of the drilled holes. Results showed that the HFRP composite experienced lower damage factor (Fd) as compared to GFRP composite at lowerfeedrate or spindle speed. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) examination revealed that the occurrence of delamination, fiber pull-out and matrix cracking was accelerated in the drilled holes at high spindle speed and feed rate. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
