V. Santhanam, M. Chandrasekaran

Abstract :

Composite materials are used in many engineering applications due to their superior properties. Hyid fie composites are developed to provide the advantage of both natural fie and synthetic fie. Drilling is an inevitable task for component assembly. Studies on drilling performance of Banana–Glass fie hyid composite is reported in this article. Banana–Glass fie reinforced Epoxy composites were prepared by using hand layup method. Drilling experiments were conducted on chopped fie and laminated woven fie composites using standard twist drill. Experiments were conducted by varying the feed rate and speed. The Effect of fie volume fraction in chopped fie and stacking sequence in woven fie composite on the drilled hole quality was found. Optimum drilling parameters were determined for selected samples each from chopped fie and woven fie composite. Machine vision technology was used to measure quality of the drilled Hole. ANOVA technique was used to analyse the experimental data and it was found that the feed rate has major influence than drilling speed on the hole quality.
