Drilling through Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) and Titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) in a stack is crucial for mechanical assembly of aircraft and automotive parts. This paper presents an investigation of drilled CFRP/Ti stacks hole quality in comparison to when the materials were drilled separately...
