Laser Cutting Characteristic on the Laminated Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) Composite of Aerospace Structure Panel

Abstract:

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites as high performance material in aerospace industry. The application of laser technology to cut the CFRP shows promising advantages. Therefore, several cutting parameters such as pulse energy, pulse repetition rate, cutting speed and pulse duration need to be taken into consideration. In this study, the effect of the aforementioned parameters on heat affected zone (HAZ), kerf width and taper angle were evaluated. The results showed that pulse energy and pulse repetition rate gave a significant effect on the cutting characteristic.
