Optimization for drilling process of metal-composite aeronautical structures

Metal-composite laminates and joints are applied in aircraft manufacturing and maintenance (repairing) using aluminum alloys (AA) and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP). In these applications, drilling has a prominent place due to its vast application in aeronautical structures’ mechanical joints...

Thus, this study presents the influence of uncoated carbide drills (85C, 86C, H10N), cutting speeds (v c = 20, 40, and 60 m min−1), and feed rates (f = 0.05, 0.15, and 0.25 mm rev−1) on delamination factor, thrust force (Ft{F}_{\text{t}}), and burr formation in dry drilling metal-composite laminates and joints (AA2024/GFRP/AA2024).
