Özet

In this study, Taguchi and ANOVA optimization was employed to analyze the micro-drilling of cellulosic-based fiber reinforced composites. These composites were micro drilled and the analysis of composites focused on overcut, hole damage factor (HDF), and taper ratio. Micro-holes were drilled on plates with thicknesses of 4 mm using a Taguchi orthogonal array (L27) design. ANOVA and Taguchi analysis revealed that tool diameter significantly impacts overcut and taper ratio in composites. The hole damage factor (HDF) was found to be primarily influenced by spindle speed. Tool diameter also influences the overcut and taper ratio by 60%, and 47%, respectively. The effect of spindle speed on HDF was determined to be approximately 65%. Spindle speed is the second most influential parameter for overcut and taper ratio, while feed rate is the least influential. For HDF, feed rate is the second most influential parameter, while tool diameter is the least influential. The optimum combination of control factors A1–B2–C1 (0.4 mm – 7500 rpm – 0.3 mm/min) was determined to minimize overcut, HDF, and taper ratio in the drilling process. These results provide the industry with valuable data that can potentially be utilized to manufacture high-quality micro-drilled cellulosic-based fiber reinforced composites  while potentially reducing production costs.
