최근 항공용 재료 산업 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있는 CFRP의 활용이 증가되고 있다. 하지만, CFRP와 같은 복합재료 부품의 결합 시에 단점이 있다. 복합재료를 이용한 다양한 구조를 제조하기 위해선 많은 홀 가공이 필요하다. 일반적으로 CFRP 홀 가공시 내구성이 매우 강한 polycrystalline crystalline diamond (PCD) 드릴을 사용한다. 하지만, 단가가 비싸고 가공 속도가 느리기 때문에 내구성은 PCD 드릴에 비해 약하나 드릴 형상 변화를 통해 가공 속도를 조절 할 수 있고, 비교적 가격이 저렴한 chemical vapor deposition (CVD) 다이아몬드 코팅 드릴의 사용량이 증가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는. PCD 드릴과 CVD 다이아몬드 코팅 드릴의 홀 가공성을 비교 평가하였다. 먼저, 홀 가공 조건 식 (날당 이송량, 절삭 속도)을 이용하여 CFRP 홀 가공성을 평가했으며, CFRP 가공 시 드릴링 과정에서 발생하는 시편 내부의 열적 손상 정도를 비교했다. 열화상 카메라 촬영한 홀 가공 시 발생되는 온도를 이용한 경험식을 만들어 두 드릴의 발열 정도에 따른 홀 가공성을 비교 평가하였다. 또한, 홀 가공 시 발생하는 칩(chip) 배출 여부에 따른 홀 내부의 상태를 평가하여 CVD 다이아몬드 코팅 드릴과 PCD 드릴의 CFRP 홀 가공성을 비교했다. 전반적으로 PCD 드릴의 홀 가공성이 CVD 다이아몬드 드릴에 비해 우수한 성능을 나타냈지만, 홀 생성 속도는 CVD 다이아몬드 드릴이 PCD 드릴에 비해 빠른 결과를 나타냈다.

Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tools possessing high hardness and abrasive wear resistance are particularly suited for drilling of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites, where tool life and consistent hole quality are important. While PCD presents superior performance when drilling CFRP, it is unclear how it performs when drilling multi-stack materials such as CFRP-titanium (Ti) stacks. This comparative study aims to investigate drilling of a Ti plate stacked on a CFRP panel when using PCD tools. The first sequence of the drilling experiments was to drill 20 holes in CFRP only. CFRP-Ti stacks were then drilled for the next 20 holes with the same drill bit. CFRP holes and CFRP-Ti stack holes were evaluated in terms of machined hole quality. The main tool wear mechanism of PCD drills is micro-fractures that occur when machining the Ti plate of the stack. Tool wear increases the instability and the operation temperature when machining the Ti plate. This results in high drilling forces, large hole diameter errors, high surface roughness, wider CFRP exit thermal damage, and taller exit Ti burrs.

This study involved the fabrication of precision machine tools using a polycrystalline diamond tip [sintered PCD and cemented carbide (WC-Co) tip] and WC-Co shanks via diffusion bonding with a paste-type nickel alloy filler metal. Diffusion bonding is a process whereby two materials are pressed together at high temperature and high pressure for a sufficient period of time to allow significant atomic diffusion to occur. For smooth progress, a filler metal of nickel alloy was used at the interface. Optical microscopy images were used to observe the copula of the bonded layer. It was confirmed that cracks occurred near the junction in all cases. The tensile strength of the bond was measured using a universal testing machine (UTM) with WC-Co proportional test specimens.

Cathode is an essential component used in plasma etching process which is to make micro pattern on the silicon wafer. The currently used cathodes produce particles at the high temperature plasma etching process. To overcome this problem, a 'Silicon Only Cathode' was developed. This 'Silicon Only Cathode' requires manufacturing process changes due to the change of shapes, material features, and machining characteristics of work materials. This research investigates the small hole drilling process. The conclusion is that PCD drills with twist angles of $20^{\circ}$ and $25^{\circ}$ were tested for small hole drilling and the experimental results indicate that the drill with $25^{\circ}$ twist angle drill causes less thrust force.

Compared to sintered polycrystalline diamond (PCD), the deposited thin film diamond has a great advantage on the fabrication of cutting tools with complex geometries such as drills. Because of high performance in high speed machining non-ferrous difficult-to-cut materials in the field of automobiles industry, aeronautics and astronautics industry, diamond-coated drills find large potentialities in commercial applications. However, the poor adhesion of the diamond film on the substrate and high surface roughness of the drill flute adversely affect the tool lift and machining quality and they become the main technical barriers for the successful development and commercialization of diamond-coated drills. In this paper, diamond thin films were deposited on the commercial WC-Co based drills by the electron aided hot filament chemical vapor deposition (EACVD). A new multiple coating technology based on changing gas pressure in different process stages was developed. The large triangular faceted diamond grains may have great contribution to the adhesive strength between the film and the substrate, and the overlapping ball like blocks consisted of nanometer sized diamond crystals may contribute much to the very low roughness of diamond film. Adhesive strength and quality of diamond film were evaluated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), Raman spectrum and drilling experiments. The ring-block tribological experiments were also conducted and the results revealed that the friction coefficient increased with the surface roughness of the diamond film. From a practical viewpoint, the cutting performances of diamond-coated drills were studied by drilling the SiC particles reinforced aluminum-matrix composite. The good adhesive strength and low surface roughness of flute were proved to be beneficial to the good chip evacuation and the decrease of thrust and consequently led to a prolonged tool lift and an improved machining quality. The wear mechanism of diamond-coated drills is the abrasive mechanical attrition.
