Drilling Machinability Evaluation of Developed CRD-Waterjet Hybrid Machine for CFRP Machining

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Transportation industries, such as aerospace and automotive demand high efficiency using lightweight parts. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) present promising materials for transportation industry parts due to their lightweight and highstrength properties. Forming and machining processes are required to manufacture parts from carbon fiber composite materials. The near-net shaping process forms the parts, and the final accurate shape and hole are accomplished using the machining process. However, high-strength carbon fiber chips and dust from the machining process cause cutting tool wear and low productivity. The hybrid CRD (Cutting, Routing and Drilling)/water-jet machine improves tool life and productivity because its water-jet process, employed before the mechanical machining process cuts roughly without chips and dust. In this study, the hybrid CRD/water-jet machine we developed was introduced and its machining performance was evaluated using a drilling process. The delamination factor and surface roughness of drilled holes were compared with the results from a conventional machine tool.
