Influence of Tool Geometry and Machining Parameters on the Surface Quality and the Effect of Surface Quality on Compressive Strength of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic
Résumé
In this chapter the influence of tool geometry and cutting conditions on cutting forces, surface defects and the percetage of dust generated durring trimming and reaching the pulmonary alveoli is investigated. The surface defects were analysed using a scanning electron microscope and different surface roughness measurement appareils. It was observed that machined surfaces qualities were highly depend on the cutting condition and the tool geometry. The impact of the machining quality on the compressive strenght is also investigated. It is observed that whatever tool geometry, cutting conditions, surface roughnesses (defects) are the response still the same for all the composite samples except for those machined at cutting temperatures higher than the glass transition temperature of the matrix.
