Titel
Tool design for the milling process of CFRP
Abstract
Each milling tool, by virtue of its geometrical structure and cutting material, represents a customized solution to the difficulties to be encountered in the manufacturing task in hand. This flexibility is oriented firstly towards the load conditions prevailing in the milling process. In CFRP milling operations, the boundary conditions for the selection of the most suitable tool are mechanical load, which is caused by the abrasive carbon fibers and thermal stress due to the insufficient thermal characteristics of polymer compounds. Analyses of the wear mechanisms in force are used, for example, to reveal potential means of optimizing tools, taking account of the process-specific parameters at the tool design stage.
