Nowadays quality plays a vital role in all the products. Hence, the development in manufacturing processfocuses on the fabrication of composite with high dimensional accuracy and also incurring low manufacturing cost. Thecomposites, especially epoxy polymer composites have important advantages because of its superior mechanicalproperties such as high strength to weight ratio, high wear resistance, corrosion resistance, electrical resistance, andetc. It can replace the traditional materials for manufacturing different components with required properties. The majorapplications of these composites are in electronic industry, automobile industry and aerospace industry. But machiningof these composites is dissimilar to conventional metals due to their isotropic nature and in-homogeneity. Majordrawbacks of these composites in machining are fiber pull out, delaminating and burring of fibers. So, appropriateselection of process parameters is an important concern in machining of GFRP composites. So, appropriate selection ofprocess parameters is an important concern in machining of GFRP composites. This work mainly focuses on assessingthe effects of process parameters i.e. spindle speed, feed on Delamination factor in drilling of GFRP composites.
