Carbon fiber composite materials have been widely applied in national defense fields, including aviation and aerospace, as well as civilian areas, such as automobile, electronic information, and high-speed machinery. During drilling, the cutting force significantly influences the workpiece machining quality and the insert service life. In this article, a simulation study using a polycrystalline diamond insert to drill carbon fiber composite materials was conducted in order to analyze the features of axial drilling force. Drilling experiments were carried out using various cutting parameters, and experimental results were compared to the simulation results. A regression analysis of the experimental data was made, and a cutting force model was constructed. The research results provide a foundation for the parameters optimization of carbon fiber composite material drilling processes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
