Abstract

The emerging industrial applications of second generation hybrid composites demand an organised study of their drilling characteristics as drilling is an essential metal removal process in the final fabrication stage. In the present work, surface finish and burr height were observed while drilling Al6061/SiC/Al2O3 composite for various combinations of drilling parameters like the feed rate, spindle speed and point angle of tool. The experimental trials were designed by L18 orthogonal array and Taguchi based response surface method was presented for optimizing the drilling parameters. The significant improvements in the responses observed for the optimal parameter setting has validated the TRSM approach permitting its application in other areas of manufacturing.
