The surface roughness of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) has been studied at different cutting parameters by using PCD tools. The effect of cutting parameters such as cutting velocity, cutting depth, cutting width as well as feed rate on roughness are analyzed. A predictive model for surface roughness in milling was established by regression analysis method. Based on the experimental results, the regression coefficient was calculated and the significance check of the regression equation was carried out. Results show that cutting depth has a significant effect on surface roughness and the next one is cutting velocity, then it is cutting width, feed rate has a little effect under the current experimental conditions. The regression is significant for the prediction model. The parameters used in milling can be selected to improve the quality of the surface based on the model of the paper.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) has been widely used in airplanes, spaceships and automobiles. The cutting performance of CFRP with a fiber orientation of 0/45°/90°/135° has been studied at different cutting parameters by using PCD tools. Experiences subjected to orthogonal cutting were performed to investigate the effects of cutting parameters on cutting force, surface finish criteria (delamination) and roughness. Results show that CFRP can be milled by high speed and can get good surface quality with low delamination by using PCD tool. The cutting force decreases under the condition of decreasing the cutting width as well as the feed per tooth and raising the cutting velocity. The cutting force is a key point to control delamination that it should below 200N to get comfortable result. As for roughness, when the cutting force below 250N, the more cutting force, the higher surface roughness, and the trend changes when cutting force over 250N. The relation between cutting force and delamination, cutting force and roughness are obtained respectively through multiple regression analysis.

Fiber Reinforced Plastics

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) combine superior mechanical properties with a low weight. Consequently, this material is highly interesting for the aircraft as well as the automotive industry, leading to a massively increased application over the last years. However machining CFRP still faces different difficulties: The material is highly abrasive, most tool substrates and coatings face massive abrasive wear. Machining CFRP often results in many material defects like delamination, fiber pull-out, high surface roughness and burnt matrix material. Several technologies have been developed to combine ultra-hard tool surfaces and most adaptable cutting edge geometries. One of the most interesting approaches is laser machining of diamond cutting edges. The technology combines the wear resistance of thick layer diamonds with a geometrical flexibility so far known only for carbide tools. In the presented study, the wear resistance of different Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD)-Diamond grades machined with two different laser systems has been tested for machining CFRP. In comparison state-of-the-art grinded PCD cutting inserts are being tested. The comparison of machining characteristics is done by machining CFRP in a continuous turning process with a single fiber orientation. Machining forces are measured to evaluate tool wear. The resulting work piece quality is analyzed by measuring the surface roughness. The machined CFRP is a M21 resin system with an IMA-12K fiber from Hexcel©. Laser machined cutting inserts show equal or superior wear resistance compared to the grinded cutting inserts. In result today lasered cutting inserts are the machining tools available with the highest tool life time. In combination with the freely adaptable tool geometry, lasered cutting inserts are the superior tool system for upcoming machining tasks.

The Impact

In this paper, the impact of milling process parameters on the roughness of surface of glass and carbon fiber reinforced plastics was analyzed. The influence of feed per tooth, cutting speed and depth of cut on selected surface roughness parameters was determined. It was found that the surface roughness after milling carbon fiber reinforced plastics was greater compared to the surface of glass fiber reinforced plastics.

Edge Trimming

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) are used as structural materials in automotive and aerospace industries because of its superior properties like high strength to weight ratio and high stiffness to weight ratio. Though most CFRP products are produced to near net shape by different composite manufacturing methods, some post machining processes such as drilling, edge trimming are required. In order to shape and smooth the edges of the composite components the edge trimming plays a major role. This research gave the approach of studying the effect of temperature and tool wear on surface roughness obtained during edge trimming of uni directional CFRP with different fiber orientations and quasi isotropic CFRP with the sequence of [90/-45/0/45/90/-45/0/45]S.The effect of coating of tool on tool wear and surface roughness were also studied.

Among advanced cutting methods, High Speed Milling (HSM) is often recommended to improve the productivity and to reduce the costs of machining parts. As every cutting process, HSM is characterized by some defects like surface roughness and delamination are the main defects generated in composite materials. The aim of this experimental work is the studying of the machining quality of woven Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) using the HSM technology. Experiments were done using different machining parameters combinations to make opened holes in CFRP laminates. This study investigated the effect of cutting speed, orbital feed speed, hole diameter on the delamination defect and surface roughness responses generated in the drilled holes. The design of experimental tests was generated using the approach of Central Composite Design (CCD). The characterization of these responses was treated with the Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Response surface methodology (RSM). Results showed that the surface roughness is highly affected by the orbital feed speed (F) with contribution of 22.45%. The delamination factor at entry and exit of holes is strongly influenced by the hole diameter D (25.97% and 57.43%) respectively. The developed model equations gave a good correlation between the empirical and predicted results. The optimization of the milling parameters was treated using desirability function to minimize the surface roughness (Ra) and the delamination factor simultaneously.
