Abstract:Carbon fber reinforced plastics/light alloy laminated structure has been extensively used in aerospace and related engineering felds. The research advances and development trends at home and abroad in hole making technology of carbon fber reinforced plastics/light alloy laminated structure were reviewed, mainly analyzing laminated structure drilling mechanisms, drilling-induced defects and influence factor of hole making quality. In order to realize the high-quality and high-effcient hole making of carbon fber reinforced plastics/light alloy laminated structure, the future study directions such as the modeling and simulation of cutting heat, prediction for hole making defects as well as intelligent control of drilling process are proposed. The current situation analysis and prospection of hole making research of laminated structure will contribute to the advances in technology in the feld of aircraft assembly.
