Effect of laminate configuration and feed rate on cutting performance when drilling holes in carbon fibre reinforced plastic composites (2010)
Journal Article
Shyha, I., Soo, S. L., Aspinwall, D., & Bradley, S. (2010). Effect of laminate configuration and feed rate on cutting performance when drilling holes in carbon fibre reinforced plastic composites. Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 210(8), 1023-1

Composites use in the aerospace industry is expanding, in particular carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) for structural components. Machinability can however be problematic especially when drilling, due to CFRP's inherent anisotropy/in-homogeneit...
