| description | Machining is considered to be an important post-manufacturing process. Evaluation of machinability of natural-fiber-reinforced composites is important owing to its wide application spectrum. Current experiments focus on the drilling parameters of cotton/bamboo woven fabric reinforced epoxy composites laminates using a solid twist drill. Composites were manufactured with 45 wt.% cotton/bamboo woven fabric in epoxy resin using a compression molding method. Drilling experiments were carried out in pillar-type drilling machine and the drilling characteristics, such as thrust force, were analyzed using four process parameters like spindle speed, feed rate, drill diameter, and silane-treated fabric. Drilling experiments were carried out using the Box–Behnken Experimental Design, and the recommended drilling characteristics were analyzed using quadratic models based on response surface methodology. It was observed from the results that the thrust force is low with small drill-bit diameter, higher cutting speed, and lower feed rate, according to the response surface analysis. Surface morphology of the drilled hole suggested that a better quality of hole can be obtained at lower feed rates. |
