Abstract
Drilling holes for mechanical fastening of components is a critical manufacturing process in the aerospace industry. High rates of tool wear are detrimental to the quality of the drilled hole and hence the manufacturing process as a whole. Therefore, this paper presents an experimental investigation of tool wear when conventionally drilling carbon fibre reinforced polymers. The methods and processes used to manufacture test coupons, design novel apparatus and acquire results are discussed. Data was recorded on a force dynamometer, thermal imaging camera and optical microscope. The severity and shape of tool wear was found to be interlinked with the geometry of the tool, magnitude of thrust force and the temperature of the tool cutting tip.
