Karpat, YiğitBahtiyar, O.2018-04-122018-04-1220162212-8271http://hdl.handle.net/11693/37494Conference Name: 7th Cirp Conference on High Performance CuttingDate on Conference: May 31st - June 2nd 2016Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are widely used in the aerospace industry due to their light weight, high strength, and low thermal conductivity. Drilling is a critical process that affects the quality of CFRP parts. This work studies the influence of process parameters on delamination and tool wear. Polycrystalline diamond helical drills are used in the experiments. It has been shown that drilling energy calculations can be used to set appropriate feed and speed parameters and for increasing drilling performance of CFRPs. The results also indicate the importance of thermal modeling of CFRP laminate for better understanding of the drilling process. © 2016 The Authors.EnglishCarbide toolsCarbon fiber reinforced polymer materialsDelaminationDrillingThrust forceTool wearAerospace industryBeams and girdersBridge decksCarbide cutting toolsCarbide toolsCutting toolsDelaminationDiamond cutting toolsDiamond drillingDrillingFiber reinforced materialsFiber reinforced plasticsLaminatesOil well drillingPolymersReinforced plasticsReinforcementThermal conductivityWear of materialsCarbon fiber reinforced polymerDrilling performanceInfluence of process parametersLow thermal conductivityPolycrystalline diamondsProcess parametersThrust forcesTool wearCarbon fiber reinforced plasticsConference Paper10.1016/j.procir.2016.03.185
