Experimental Study on Micro Milling of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics

Article Preview

Abstract:

Recently the demands for miniature component of varying materials have been rapidly increasing in aerospace industry. Carbon fiber reinforced plastics is widely used as functional or structural material due to its superior material properties. It also is one of the difficult to machine materials because of the poor machinability. This paper presents an experimental study on micro milling of carbon fiber reinforced plastics with self-developed polycrystalline diamond tool. Cutting force and specific cutting energy are analyzed. The minimum chip thickness and carbon fiber diameter are found to have great effect on the cutting force signature peak. Tool wear mechanism of polycrystalline diamond tool also is investigated.
