ABSTRACT

This thesis investigates the effect of the drilling parameters, (cutting speed and cutter

diameter) in drilling of aero composite material with different fiber fractions. Three

speeds (low, medium and high) and five cutter diameter with different size are used

in this study. The results show that the cutting speed and cutter diameter have direct

effects on crack and surface roughness on the work piece. On the other hand,

increasing the cutting speed reduces the associated crack and surface roughness,

especially for large cutter diameter. The influence of cutting parameters on peel-up

and push-out delaminations that occurs at drill entrance and drill exit respectively at

the specimen surfaces have been investigated. No clear effect of the cutting speed on

the delamination size is observed, while the delamination size decreases with

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of Project

Because composite material have superior properties such as high

strength-to-weight ratio, high stiffness-to-strength-to-weight ratio, excellent fatigue resistance and low thermal

expansion coefficient, they are generally used to fabricate a variety of component for

automotive, aerospace, marine, and consumer product. Various cutting techniques are

available to drill holes, but drilling is the common way in secondary machining of

composite material owing to the need for structure joining. The mechanics of drilling

composite material has been studies along with the quality of the hole and the effects of

tool geometry and toll material.

Several hole production processes, including conventional drilling, ultrasonic

drilling, laser-beam drilling, water jet drilling, etc., have been proposed for a variety of

economic and quality reasons. Conventional drilling is still the most widely used

technique in industry today. A major concern that has received considerable attention in

drilling holes in FRCM is the delamination, especially at the bottom surface of the

workpiece (drill exit). The thrust force developed during the drilling process affects the

(17)

2 1.2 Problem Statement

The use of fiber-reinforced composite materials in automobile and aerospace

industries has grown considerably in recent years because of their unique properties such

as high specific stiffness and strength, high damping, good corrosive resistance, and low

thermal expansion. Drilling is usually the final operation during the assembly of the

structures in these applications. Any defects that lead to the rejection of the parts

represent an expensive loss. For example, in the aircraft industry, drilling-associated

delamination accounts for 60% of all part rejections during final assembly of an aircraft.

The economic impact of this is significant considering the value associated with the part

when it reaches the assembly stage. The quality of the drilled holes such as

waviness/roughness of its wall surface, axial straightness, and roundness of the hole

cross-section can cause high stresses on the rivet, which will lead to its failure. Stress

concentration, delamination, and micro cracking associated with machined holes

significantly reduce the composites performance. Thus this thesis will investigate the

effect of cutting speed and cutter diameter in drilling of aero composite with

honeycombed structure in order to reduce part rejection during final assembly of an

aircraft.

LITERATURE REVIEW

The literature review is conducted to achieve the objectives for this research. The

literature is included information on coated carbide tools used in milling, coating

materials for cutting tools, wear observation during turning operations and surface finish

of the machined work material. All of this information is served as guideline in the

course of the study. These research studies are involved in using the:

1) Composite Material

2) Drilling machine

3) Scanning Electron Microscope

2.1 CompositeMaterial

A composite material is a combination of a strong material (usually as a fiber)

embedded in a weaker matrix. The combination produces a new material with properties

that can greatly outperform the properties of either component [1].

2.1.1 Composite background

The principals of composite materials can be found all around us. Reinforced

concrete is one example of a material in which various elements combine to create a

stronger, tougher material than the sum of its individual components. Typically the term

‘advanced composites’ refers to carbon, Kevlar or other highly engineered fibers

embedded in an epoxy matrix. The epoxy matrix in composites serves to distribute stress

loads evenly between the embedded fibers. The epoxy also stiffens the composite when

cured into the desired form. [1].

The properties of certain fibers make them extremely strong in tension. Glass

fibers, carbon fibers and Kevlar have very high tensile strength. Though strong and light

weight these fibers lack stiffness on their own. Also, imperfections on the surface of the

fibers can cause stress points, which will open to fractures under strain. When fibers are

woven together the multiple fibers act to divide strain so that it is not concentrated in

any one fiber.

The combination of composite strength and low weight has been applied where

high material performance is paramount. Initial applications of advanced composite

technology were for military and space programs, where high strength to weight ratios

were a necessity and cost was not critical. Since then, advanced composites have found

their way into a variety of everyday uses.

The Kevlar in bulletproof vests is incredibly tough. High performance sporting

Fiberglass watercrafts are a mature technology that has dramatically changed the boat

building industry. As composites have become better understood they have become

preferred materials for aircraft.

There are five key factors that determine the weight and cost of composite structures:

1) Labor content

2) Cost of machinery

3) Cost of materials

4) Tooling and assembly requirements

5) Curing requirements

Early composite fabrication techniques used dry-fiber broad goods laid up by

hand with resins applied by hand. Most current composites manufacturing relies on fiber

broad goods that are pre impregnated with resin. These pre impregnated are still

laboriously laid up by hand. These techniques use expensive materials and are very labor

intensive, limiting their practical commercial application.

Composite parts made using the current state-of-the-art methods typically

include core stiffeners, including various kinds of specialized foams or honeycombs.

These materials represent a significant cost in materials and labor for their application in

addition to increasing weight and reducing usable volume. Spectrum’s processes

drastically reduce the need for core stiffeners. [2]

Curing high performance composite parts generally requires applying both

external heat and pressure to the part. This is typically accomplished using expensive

autoclaves.

With traditional composite fabrication techniques it can also be difficult to control the

manufacturing process with verifiable precision. This and other ‘knock-down’ factors

force manufacturers to add weight and cost to load bearing parts in order to meet FAA

certification requirements. This has tended to make testing, process controls and

(22)

2.1.2 Composite Structure

Composites are materials consisting of a com- bination of high-strength stiff

fibers embedded in a common matrix (binder) material; for example, graphite fibers

and epoxy resin. Composite structures are made of a number of fibers and epoxy resin

laminates. These laminates can number from 2 to greater than 50, and are generally

bonded to a substructure such as aluminum or nonmetallic honeycomb. The much

stiffer fibers of graphite, boron, and Kevlar® epoxies have given composite materials

structural properties superior to the metal alloys they have replaced.

The use of composites is not new. Fiber glass, for example, has been used for

some time in various aircraft components. However, the term advanced composites

applies to graphite, boron, and Kevlar®, which have fibers of superior strength and

stiffness. The use of these advanced composite materials does represent a new

[image:22.612.186.439.391.608.2]

application for naval aircraft. [1]

Figure 1: Sandwich construction. [1]

Composite materials are replacing and supple- menting metallic materials in

(23)

replacement of metallic materials with more advanced composite materials has rapidly

accelerated. This has become particularly evident with the advent of the F/A-18,

AV-8B, SH-60B, and CH 53E aircraft; and it is anticipated that composite materials will

continue to comprise much of the structure in future aircraft. As a result, there is a

growing requirement to train you in the use of advanced composite materials.

There are numerous combinations of composite materials being studied in

laboratories and a number of types currently used in the production of aircraft

components. Examples of composite materials are as follows: graphite/epoxy,

Kevlar®/epoxy, boron poly- amide, graphite polyamide, boron-coated boron

aluminum, coated boron titanium, boron graphite epoxy hybrid, and boron/epoxy. The

trend is toward minimum use of boron/epoxy because of the cost when compared to

current generation of graphite/epoxy composites.

Composites are attractive structural materials because they provide a high

strength/weight ratio and offer design flexibility. In contrast to traditional materials of

construction, the properties of these materials can be adjusted to more efficiently

match the requirements of specific applications. However, these materials are

highly susceptible to impact damage, and the extent of the damage is difficult to

determine visually. Nondestructive inspection (NDI) is required to analyze the

extent of damage and the effectiveness of repairs. In addition, repair differs from

(24)

2.2 Principle of Machining Process

Machining is essentially the process of removing unwanted material from

wrought (roller) stock, forgings, or casting to produce a desire shape, surface finish and

dimension. It is one of the four major types of manufacturing processes used to create

product component. Machining is done by shaving away material in small pieces, called

chips using very hard cutting tools powerful, rigid machine tools. The cutting tools may

be held stationary and moved across the rotating workpiece as on a lathe or a rigid held

work piece may move into a rotating cutting tool as a milling machine.

Historically, machining process probably began with Besson in 1569 when he

invented the screw-cutting lathe and later when a practical version was built by Henry

Maudslay in 1800. Horizontal milling machine first appeared in 1820 when Eli Whitney

used them for the manufacture of firearm, and the vertical milling first appeared in 1860.

Machining processes remove material in the form of chips that are disposed or recycled.

Machining is more costly than casting, molding, and forming processes, which are

generally quicker and waste less material, but machining is often justified when

precision is needed. [3]

2.2.1 Drilling Process

The drilling machine (drill press) is a single purpose machine for the production

of holes. Drilling is generally the best method of producing holes. The drill is a

cylindrical bar with helical flutes and radial cutting edges at one end. The drilling

operations simply consist of rotating the drill and feeding it into the work piece being

drilled. The process is simple and reasonably accurate and the drill is easily controlled

both in cutting speed and feed rate. The drill is probably one of the original machining
