Abstract: Cenosphere reinforced epoxy composites are steadily replacing the conventional materials in marine, aerospace and automobile structuresowing to their lightweight properties.Drilling is an important conventional machining process essential for assemblyof polymer composites using rivets and bolts. Drilling induces damage around the hole which significantly deteriorates composite performance. In the present study, hole quality characteristicssuch as cylindricity and delamination in drilling of fly ash cenosphere filled epoxy composites are investigated using coated tungsten carbide drill bits.Feed, cutting speed, filler content and drill diameter are considered as the drilling process variables.Samples are fabricated by varying cenosphere content from 10to 60by volume %inepoxy resin.Full factorial design (FFD) based experiments are conducted on CNC vertical machining center. Response surface methodology (RSM) based mathematical models are proposed to estimate the characteristics of the hole quality in developed composites. Analysis of variance is used to validate the developed mathematical models.Present study reveals that the cylindricity and delamination decreases with increasing feed. Increasing cutting speed decreases the cylindricity, however delamination is found to be increasing.Results also shows the importance of using high cenosphere content for producing sound quality holes, which is also beneficial from weight savingperspective. � 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.
