Drilling On Fibre Reinforced Polymer/non-polymer Composites Laminates: A Review

The use of polymeric composite material has increased considerably, and as a result, focus on machinability of such material has also increased. Drilling is the most frequently practised machining process for fibre reinforced polymeric composites in industry. Reinforced composites discovered for reaching applications rather than others because of their ease of manufacture. The various parameters during the drilling operation that might influence the drilling factors and material damage have been identified while working with composites. It is aimed to cover drilling operations, drill bit geometry and materials, delamination in drilling and its remedies, thrust force and tool wear
