Abstract: 

The use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite material has increased significantly in current scenario due to its superior properties like higher strength to weight ratio, higher stiffness, lower thermal expansion. Number of papers focusing on machining characteristic of GFRP composite have been increased since last decades. Drilling is most common process for assembling component made from glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite. This paper is attempt to review the various drilling Performed on GFRP. Effect of cutting parameters, drill geometry, drill material and fiber content on delamination, thrust forced and surface roughness has been reviewed. It is intended to support readers to achieve a complete view on drilling of SFRPC for selecting the damage free drilling process and conditions.
