Influence of cooling on the performance of the drilling process of glass fibre reinforced epoxy composites
Non-laminated composites find application in construction of bridges, ballistic applications, etc. However, literature on the drilling of non-laminated composite materials and literature on the drilling of thick composite materials under different cooling methods (dry, external and internal) is scarce. Hence the present study is aimed to investigate the influence of different cooling methods on quality characteristics (drill temperature and damage factor) while drilling glass fibre reinforced epoxy (GFRE) non-laminated 20 mm thick pultruded composite rods having 80% fibre weight fraction and 0° fibre orientations with respect to the drill. The drilling experiments using TiN/TiAlN coated tungsten carbide twist drills of diameter 10 mm were conducted using response surface methodology (RSM). The experimental values obtained for quality characteristics are empirically related to process parameters by developing a response surface model using Design-Expert software. The effects of process parameters on quality characteristics were analysed by using response surface graphs. The process parameters (feed, spindle speed and coolant pressure) are also optimized within the selected range. The optimal parameter levels are confirmed by validation test. From this investigation, it is evident that the internal cooling method is significant for obtaining high hole quality.
