This paper discusses tool-wear processes in the milling of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates. Plane down-milling tests with unidirectional and cross-directional CFRP laminates were performed using two types of cutting tools made of tungsten carbide and polycrystalline diamond. Measurements of the changes in the cutting forces and tool-wear widths over the cutting distance revealed that the fiber orientation direction in the CFRP laminates relative to the tool-traveling direction is an important parameter to determine the tool-wear processes. Additionally, based on obtained experimental results, a wear parameter to characterize cutting tool wear is introduced. This parameter can accurately explain the relationship between the worn tool-edge profiles and the processed-surface quality.

The applications of carbon fiber reinforced plastic materials have increased widely in the fields of aerospace, automotive, maritime, and sports equipment because of their excellent mechanical properties. Machining of carbon fiber reinforced plastics has a considerably more complex effect on drilling qualities than machining of conventional metals and their alloys due to the nonlinear, inhomogeneous, and abrasive nature of CFRPs. This article addresses the methodologies that have been adopted to minimize the material damages in drilling of polymeric composite materials. Key papers are reviewed with respect to tool types, materials, geometry and coatings, back-up plate, coolants, environment, unconventional machining, and high-speed drilling methodologies, which influence the hole qualities of delamination, burr, surface roughness, cylindricity, diameter error, and thermal damage with the effect of cutting variables (spindle speed and feed rate). In addition, some deburring strategies are also reviewed and discussed.

This study describes the effects of machining parameters on the thermal affected zone (heat-affected zone; HAZ) of carbon fiber reinforced plastic using fiber laser. The HAZ described in this study was defined as the area where only resin was removed. In three experiments, the HAZ area and the removal shape of carbon fiber were investigated. The study revealed that pulsed laser reduces the HAZ more than continuous-wave laser does, but it causes the swelling of the carbon fiber tip. Furthermore, the HAZ decreased as the scan speed increased, even if the number of scans was increased. In addition, it was found that nitrogen could restrain the HAZ and the swelling of carbon fiber.

Abstract The use of fiber-reinforced plastics has increased significantly in the past decades. Consequently, the demand for finishing and machining of such materials has also escalated. During machining, the fiber-reinforced materials exhibit machining problems dissimilar to the problems of metals. These are fiber pull-out, fiber breakage in the cutting zone, matrix smearing and delamination. The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the characteristics of the resultant force (Fe) dur-ing the milling of carbon fiber reinforced plastic as a function of input machining parameters. For the force measurements, CFR with perpendicular (0°-90°) fiber orientation was machined. The experimental design involved the central composite design method. To analyze and evaluate the measurements, we applied the response surface methodology.
