“…Several well-known European car manufacturers and suppliers have expressed their interest in utilizing the natural fiber composites in numerous automotive interior and exterior parts (Abdul Nasir, Azmi, and Khalil 2015) (Fan and Njuguna 2016). As a result of a widening range of NFRCs usage in structural and non-structural component applications, these near net-shape composite products still require secondary machining operations to meet the dimensional constraints.…”

This paper aims to investigate the effects of machining parameters such as spindle speed, feed rate and drill diameter on machinability of flax/poly(lactic acid) bio-composites, to analyze the relations among cutting forces, drillinginduced damages and crack propagation of the drilled samples. In particular, a set of drilling experiments were conducted using different drilling conditions and a new low-cost measurement set-up was developed to measure the cutting force during the drilling operation. In addition, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to identify the significance of each individual cutting parameter. The experimental results indicate the relation between the thrust force and the machinability parameters of flax fiber reinforced bio-composite.The increase in spindle speed reduces thrust force and delamination size of the drilled holes, whereas an increase in feed and drill diameter leads to a considerable increase in both thrust force and delamination factor. The effect of spindle speed on peripheral damage was not significant for the drills tested, though the feed rate was found to play the key role on the delamination damage area. The best hole quality was achieved with the samples drilled at spindle speed and feed rate of 3000 rpm and 0.11 mm/rev, respectively.

“…Since the ready well-known approach is represented by lightweight design, which shows an effective way for reducing CO 2 emissions [2]. In this context, because of its high specific strength, new polymer composites are ideal for utilization in transportation industries [2]. Further relevant advantages of fiberreinforced polymers are based on its multicomponent structure, which can be optimized regarding the specific requirements,The EU climate and energy package 2050 with the objective of a "low carbon economy" is one of the biggest challenges for the energy and transportation industries these days.…”

“…Aligned carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) prepreg systems are currently being investigated for use in high volume light weight automotive structural applications due to their excellent mass normalised mechanical performance [1,2]. The latest generation of CFRPs are ideally suited to high volume manufacturing within the transport industry, supporting short cycle times, through low viscosity/rapid curing polymer matrices, and possessing high mass-specific strength, stiffness, and durability [3,4]. Whilst the aligned carbon fibre reinforcement phase plays a crucial role in structural performance [5,6], material processability and quality of the final part are strongly linked to the thermo-chemical properties of the matrix [7,8].…”
