Delamination in Drilling of GFR/High Impact Polystyrene Omposites

Glass fiber reinforced thermo plastic composite materials are finding increased applications in many areas due to their important applications. Drilling is an important operation in the final assembly of the structural frames. The life of the joining can be critically affected by the quality of the drilled holes. The delamination, fiber peel out, pull in, are important concern in drilling. The analysis of delamination in drilling and the influence of cutting parameters on thermoplastic composite materials is presented in detail.
