Abstract
Abrasive machining is a recent technology, which is eminently suitable for making micro holes in brittle and composite materials used in many industrial components. Polymeric composite materials find extensive use in aircraft, automobile industries, and household applications due to their lightweight, excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and attractive fracture toughness. These composites, when machined, suffer heavy delamination when a conventional machining process like drilling is used. The machining time and surface roughness using the conventional nozzle in the machining of the above composites is also found to be high. Hence, the existing design of the conventional nozzle was modified and used in the setup. Two different polymeric composites, namely, Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) have been used to understanding the machining characteristics.
