Effects of tool coating and tool wear on the surface quality and flexural strength of slotted CFRP

Machining of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) is abrasive and causes significant tool wear. The effect of tool wear on static flexural strength is investigated, using edge trimming with uncoated carbide and chemical vapour deposition (CVD) diamond coated burr style tools. Edge rounding (ER) criteria along with flank wear are used to observe tool degradation with ER shown to preferentially wear allowing the tool to become cyclically sharper and duller, corresponding to fluctuating dynamometer readings, a novelty for CFRP machining. Areal surface metrics degraded for an uncoated tool due to changes in cutting mechanism, whilst for up to 16.2 m of linear traverse, the coated tool showed limited changes. Tool wear, caused by edge trimming 7.2 m of CFRP, using an uncoated carbide tool, provided a flexural strength reduction of up to 10.5%, directly linking tool wear to reduced mechanical strength.
