Temperature Study during the Edge Trimming of Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Plastic [0]8/Ti6Al4V Stack Material

Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) and Titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) stacks are used extensively in the modern aerospace industry thanks to their outstanding mechanical properties resistance thermal load applications. Machining CFRP/Ti6Al4V stack is a challenge complicated by differences each constituent materials’ machinability. The difficulty arises from matrix degradation of CFRP material caused heat generated during machining process, which consequence low conductivity Ti6Al4V material. In most cases, materials stacked secured together using rivets or bolts. This results extra weight, while drilling process required for such an assembly may damage To overcome these issues, some applications employ that free bolts rivets, uses adhesives adapted curing bond both together. present research analyzes distribution its effect on quality edge trimming assembly. Different types tools cutting parameters compared thermocouples embedded within others tool edge. contrast previous studies, feed rate was significant factor affecting temperature workpiece, speed had no impact. workpiece increases as per tooth decreases.
