Study on tool wear during milling CFRP under dry and chilled air machining

Carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) is an expensive composite that, as industry demand for this composite has increased, has become a valuable material. CFRP is suitable to be used in automotive, aerospace and aircraft industries, because of its properties, which are being stronger than steel and...

description Carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) is an expensive composite that, as industry demand for this composite has increased, has become a valuable material. CFRP is suitable to be used in automotive, aerospace and aircraft industries, because of its properties, which are being stronger than steel and stiffer than titanium, while retaining its lighter weight. This paper presents the tool wear on solid carbide cutting tool during milling CFRP under dry and chilled air cutting conditions.
