Drilling experiments with a CFRP/Ti6Al4V stack board were carried out using a TiAlN-coated cemented carbide drill, TiAlCr/TiSi-coated cemented carbide drill, and TiSiN-coated cemented carbide drill. Cutting experiments were carried out under a dry cutting process and water-mist-cooling process. Themain results obtained were as follows. The tool life of the TiAlCr/TiSi-coated cemented carbide drill was the longest among the three coated cemented carbide drills. The tool life under the water-mist-cooling process was longer than that under the dry process. Because the titanium alloy chips were much harder under the water-mist-cooling process, the cutting torque under this process became larger with an increase in tool flank wear compared to that under the dry process.
