International Journal of Precision Technology (IJPTech)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

Online First articles are published online here, before they appear in a journal issue. Online First articles are fully citeable, complete with a DOI. They can be cited, read, and downloaded. Online First articles are published as Open Access (OA) articles to make the latest research available as early as possible.

Open AccessArticles marked with this Open Access icon are Online First articles. They are freely available and openly accessible to all without any restriction except the ones stated in their respective CC licenses.

  • Drilling of injection moulded natural fibre-reinforced composites using different drill bits: analysis of force, temperature, and damage   Order a copy of this article

    Abstract: The inferior and often inadequate machining performance of plant or natural fibre-reinforced composites [NFRC] is a noticeable impediment to their preferential selection and use in a spectrum of structural applications. The damages that are produced during the machining of NFRC often exert an influence on the overall structural integrity of the end product. Conventional drilling is the most common machining process that is required for assembly of different components for making NFRC-based products. In this work, the drilling behaviour of injection moulded short sisal fibre/polypropylene composites is presented and discussed. The outcome of analysing the role of input parameters, to include: 1) speed; 2) feed; 3) drill geometry on thrust, torque, temperature, and damage-induced during drilling is comprehensively studied and discussed in this research paper. The in-situ temperature during drilling of the developed composites is measured with the primary intent of understanding the underlying mechanisms governing drilling.
    Keywords: polymer; fibre; drilling; feed; speed; drill geometry; force; temperature; damage.
