Preassembly Cryogenic Drilling in Carbon Fiber Sandwich Sheets with Inner Foam Core by Rosario Domingo, Marta M. Marín, Néstor Rodríguez-Padial, Roberto Álvarez-Fernández

“…Experimental tests were performed in laminates with thicknesses of 12 mm and 6 mm, drilling with liquid nitrogen (LN₂) as a refrigerant to reach temperatures below −120 °C under cutting conditions of 2000–6000 rpm for drill bit rotation speeds and 200–600 mm/min for feed rates. Variables such as thrust forces and circularity error were measured, and a design of experiments, analysis of variance, and regression models allowed us to identify the influence of cutting conditions and foam thickness. …”
