Effect of Cutting Speed on the Face Milling of CFRP Using a PCD Tool

Article Preview

Abstract:

Carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) is used in various industries such as aerospace and automobile industries because of its high mechanical characteristics. However, this material is difficult to cut. Tool wear and delamination frequently occur during the drilling or cutting of CFRP. In previous studies, we developed a CFRP cutting tool using polycrystalline diamond (PCD). The PCD tool exhibited excellent cutting performance at cutting speeds as low as <120 m/min. In this study, the authors investigated the effect of cutting speed on the face milling of CFRP by using the developed PCD tool.
