Abstract:

The research is concerned with obtaining basic knowledge in the field of machining biocomposite materials with hemp fibers and a matrix in the form of a mixture of polyester and methyl methacrylate resin in a secret ratio. The research was focused on milling technology, or rather side milling. For the needs of the research, 3 milling tools were selected with which experimental measurements were performed. Each tool was different in its type of sharpened geometry, both standard and specialized, including one coated. The experimental measurements focused on the size and course of wear of the cutting edge of the tools, the roughness value of the machined surface and the size and type of delamination of the upper and lower layers of the biocomposite material under investigation. The obtained results helped to evaluate the machinability of the selected hemp biocomposite and at the same time determined the future direction of research with regard to the design of a suitable cutting geometry of the tool and the overall optimization of the machining process during side milling.
