The increasing use of composite materials across various industries necessitates a detailed understanding of the machining processes involved in their production. This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis focused on the drilling of composite materials, aiming to identify key trends, advancements, and research gaps in this critical area. The novelty of this research lies in its systematic approach to mapping the intellectual landscape surrounding drilling processes, particularly emphasizing underexplored topics such as hybrid composites and alternative drilling techniques like laser and ultrasonic methods. An analysis of 927 relevant publications using the Scopus database and VOSviewer software revealed significant insights into the concentration of research on Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP), while highlighting a lack of focus on sustainable drilling practices and real-time defect detection methods. The results suggest that while optimization of traditional drilling parameters is well-covered, there is a pressing need for future research on tool wear mechanisms and environmentally friendly drilling approaches. These findings provide valuable guidance for improving the efficiency, precision, and sustainability of drilling processes, thereby enhancing the industrial application of composite materials.
复合材料在各个行业的使用日益增加，这就需要详细了解其生产过程中涉及的加工工艺。本研究对复合材料钻孔进行了全面的文献计量分析，旨在识别这一关键领域的主要趋势、进展和研究空白。本研究的新颖之处在于其采用系统方法描绘围绕钻孔工艺的知识领域，特别强调了诸如混杂复合材料等未充分探索的主题以及激光和超声方法等替代钻孔技术。使用Scopus数据库和VOSviewer软件对927篇相关出版物进行的分析揭示了对碳纤维增强聚合物（CFRP）和玻璃纤维增强聚合物（GFRP）研究集中情况的重要见解，同时突出了对可持续钻孔实践和实时缺陷检测方法缺乏关注。结果表明，虽然传统钻孔参数的优化已有充分研究，但未来迫切需要对刀具磨损机制和环境友好型钻孔方法进行研究。这些发现为提高钻孔工艺的效率、精度和可持续性提供了有价值的指导，从而增强了复合材料的工业应用。
