Improving hole quality of thick CFRP laminates through a laser-mechanical compound drilling process

Conventional mechanical drilling of thick carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite laminates is prone to machining-induced defects such as burrs, delamination, and severe tool wear. However, pulsed laser drilling as an improved strategy results in hole taper and the formation of a heat-affec...
