Drilling Response Optimization of Hybrid Bamboo-Sisal-E-Glass Fiber Composites Reinforced with Al2O3 Nanofillers
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 13, No 4 (2024) pp. 429-440
Abstract
This work explores the optimization of drilling parameters in hybrid epoxy composites fortified with bamboo, sisal, and glass fibers that use Al2O3 nanofillers towards reducing surface roughness. Taguchi method using L16 orthogonal array was adopted to optimize the drilling process, and the composites were constructed by hand lay-up approach. Surface roughness was the output, and point angle, feed rate, and cutting speed were the main input factors for optimization. The results reveal that, with contributions of 39.46% and 30.20%, respectively, cutting speed and feed rate have a considerable effect on surface roughness by analysis of variance (ANOVA) while point angle contributes 25.84% of the total. The most effective drilling parameters were determined to be C4 (point angle), B1 (feed rate), and A4 (cutting speed) for reducing surface roughness based on the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. The model under investigation is appropriate, according to the ANOVA results, which have an estimated S value of 0.4447, R2 value of 95.50%. Also, the confirmative results show that the surface roughness values guessed for the best cutting conditions are pretty close to what was found in the experiments and what was expected, with a difference of 2.40 percent. The results provide light on how to drill hybrid composite materials effectively, and the ideal settings can help producers achieve excellent surface quality while machining.
