Specifications for drilling holes in carbon fiber composites encompass drill bit selection (carbide, diamond, TiN-coated), drill speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and cutting fluid optimization to ensure precise hole formation and minimize material damage. Industry standards such as ASTM D3329 and ISO 14243 provide guidelines on drilling parameters and quality control measures. Performance metrics include hole diameter, roundness, surface finish, and edge chipping, which are critical for applications in aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and sports equipment where structural integrity and component performance are paramount.
