Study the Impact of Drilling Process Parameters on Natural Fiber Reinforced Herringbone Epoxy Composites

Common fiber composite overlays are attractive for a few applications, (for example, aviation and flying machine auxiliary parts) because of their predominant properties and bio-degradable. Typically, mechanical drilling process parameters are significant effect final machining process outcomes. It covers drilling performance like convectional drilling, grinding, vibration-influence twist drilling, and rapid boring, drilling apparatus geometry and materials, drilling actuated delamination and its smothering methodologies, thrust power, and wear rate. This paper aimed to address the effect and ranking of process parameters on trust force, torque, and delamination at both entry and exit of the hole sisal fabric herringbone reinforced epoxy composites. The herringbone woven sisal fabric reinforced epoxy composite is fabricated using conventional compression molding technique. The result shows that at higher speed and feed rate delamination at both entrance and exit, thrust force, and toque decreases. Optimum drill diameter found from 6 to 10 mm to obtain minimum responses. As four output parameters are deciding quality of drilled hole, further grey regression analysis is used to study the ranking of output responses. Form grey regression analysis it is found that for 2700 rpm spindle speed, 60 mm/min feed and 8 mm diameter exhibit minimum effort.
