Edge Trimming

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites have many excellent properties, which make them be widely used in many applications. After demolding processes, CFRP composites still need additional machining processes to achieve final shape with desired tolerances. Edge trimming is the first machining process performed on composites after their molding processes. Because of carbon fibers’ abrasive properties as well as CFRPs’ properties of inhomogeneity and anisotropy, CFRPs are regarded as the difficult-to-cut materials. Many problems are generated in traditional machining processes. To reduce and solve the problems, edge trimming using rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) is reported in this manuscript. This paper, for the first time, makes the comparisons on machining performance (cutting forces, torque, and surface roughness) between edge trimming processes with and without ultrasonic vibration assistance. To better understand effects of ultrasonic vibration on such a process, machining mechanisms are also obtained and analyzed. This paper will provide guides for RUM edge trimming of CFRP composites.

The Core

Surface roughness is the key aspect which could increase the application of float glass by enhancing the machined hole quality. Glass is extensively used in microfluidic devices, bio-medical parts and biosensors. The core objective of the research study is to optimize the best parametric combination to achieve the least amount of surface roughness. The three major parameters which are used for designed experimental study are spindle speed, ultrasonic amplitude and feed rate. The least value of surface roughness is noticed at spindle speed (5000 rpm), vibration amplitude (20 μ m) and feed rate (6 mm/min) which be adopted for increasing its functional application. Consequently, after optimizing the parameters, least value of surface roughness at hole internal region is revealed as 1.09 μm.

Influence Of Process Parameters

Experiments were carried out to study the effect of ultrasonic vibration on the surface roughness and subsurface damage (SSD) in rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) of glass BK7. As a comparison, some conventional grinding (CG) experiments were also performed under the same process parameters with there of the RUM ones. The surface roughness of the RUM/CG samples was measured with a surface profilometer. The SSD of these specimens was assessed and characterized by a measuring microscope with the help of the taper polishing method. Also, the influence of process parameters (cutting depth, feed speed, and spindle speed) on the surface/subsurface quality was discussed. As a result, both the surface roughness and the SSD depth of the RUM/CG specimens were reduced with the increased spindle speed, while increased with the increasing of feed speed and cutting depth of the diamond tool. Compared with the CG process, the introduction of ultrasonic vibration resulted in the higher surface roughness and SSD depth, due to the fact that the max cutting depth of the abrasive in the RUM process increased by an amplitude compared with that in the CG process.

Cfrp Composites

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites have superior properties, including high strength-to-weight ratio, high modulus-to-weight ratio, high fatigue resistance, etc. These properties make CFRP composites being popular in many kinds of industries. Due to the inhomogeneous and anisotropic properties, and high abrasiveness of the reinforcement in CFRP composites, they are classified as difficult-to-cut materials in surface grinding processes. Many problems (including high cutting force and low machining efficiency) are generated in conventional surface grinding processes. In order to reduce and eliminate these problems, rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) surface grinding of CFRP composites is conducted in this investigation. Effects of ultrasonic power in different machining levels are of great importance in RUM surface grinding processes. However, no investigations on effects of ultrasonic power in different machining levels are conducted in such a process. This investigation, for the first time, tests the effects of ultrasonic power on output variables, including cutting force, torque, and surface roughness in different machining levels. This paper will provide guides for future research on effects of ultrasonic power in different combinations of machining variables on output variables.
