Abstract: Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) laminates with different top/bottom fiber direction angle (stacking sequences of each ply) are trimmed at various workpiece inclined angles. Four types of delamination are studied and discussed. The results indicate that fiber direction has great influence on the type of delamination and the workpiece inclined angle determines the proportion of each type of delamination expect a special cast that the delamination form turns into type I/II when the workpiece inclined angle is 58.6o. Stacking sequences of each ply have great influence on the numbers of damaged plies and the 0o fiber direction ply has the ability to prevent the development of damaged ply.

Abstract: ts difficult to guarantee the surface quality when processing the carbon/silicon carbide (C/SiC) composites, and also easy to produce burr defect. So firstly the law of the burrs generated on different direction of fiber was analyzed theoretically. And then we milled the C/SiC composites by electroplating diamond cutting tool with different cutting parameters and fiber directions. The cutting force and the burr area size of the milling surface were also tested. After analyzing the results, the milling burr evaluation method was proposed. Then the burr area size of different fiber directions was analyzed, and the effect on the surface quality of fiber direction during milling process was studied. The result shows that the angle between surface laid carbon fiber direction and cutting direction has a significant influence on the processing quality. Milling surface quality was declined in order as 0°, 45°, 90° and 135°. So in order to improve the quality of the milling surface, the angle between surface laid fabric fiber direction and cutting direction should be less than 45°.

Abstract: Microcosmic and macroscopic form of CFRP holes drilled by new PCD tool were observed in this paper. Location and distribution of burr and fiber direction of burr were analyzed, and formation mechanism of burr of CFRP hole exit is studied tentatively. The methods of inhibit the formation of burr formation were put forward from the design principles of the tool geometry parameters.

Abstract: A three-dimensional finite difference method (FDM) model of grinding temperature field for carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) was established, based on the homogenization of the thermal properties of the CFRP material. The effect of the fiber direction on grinding temperature distribution at different workpiece velocity was numerically simulated and analyzed. It is found that the effect of the fiber direction on grinding temperature field is remarkable in lower workpiece velocity but unapparent in higher workpiece velocity due to the anisotropy of CFRP material and the velocity of moving heat source. More than 230 °C surface grinding temperature, which will badly damage CFRP performance, may be produced in dry grinding according to the simulated analysis. During grinding the heat affected zone of CFRP is about 0.22 mm in depth direction. Furthermore, experimental results are well in agreement with those of the theoretical analysis.
