Additional information

This work involved drilling small diameter holes (1.5mm) in advanced carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates. This was carried out in collaboration with an industrial consortium led by GKN Aerospace in order to improve their current manufacturing process on a new all-composite acoustic liner. Preferred operating regimes, drill configuration/type and coating material to achieve greater productivity and reduce workpiece damage (delamination etc.) were identified and communicated to the company. Outcomes from the research were also reported to the wider industry via an invited lecture at a seminar (December 2010) on ‘The Art of Composite Machining’ organised by Seco Tools UK.
