Abstract: Composite materials are utilized in various industries due to their advantageous properties. Drilling is a crucial process for joining these materials to construct the structures. During the drilling of composite materials, several types of defect can occur, with delamination being the most prevalent. Delamination adversely effects the properties of the drilled hole and diminishes the quality of the final structure. Thrust force is a key parameter used to monitor the drilling process; a higher thrust force increases the likelihood of defects, particularly delamination, in the drilled area. In this article, a central composite design is applied to the drilling process of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites, focusing on parameters such as rotational speed, feed rate, and the angle between the composite layer sequences. The objective is to minimize delamination factors and thrust force. The effect of drilling parameters on the responses is analyzed independently. The results indicate that the derived models can predict the thrust force and delamination factors in the drilling of CFRP composites. Keywords: central composite design; carbon fiber-reinforced plastic composite; composites; drilling; delamination factor; optimization
