Effects of machining parameters on surface quality of composites reinforced with natural fibers

Raveen John et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the effects of machining parameters on the surface quality of natural fiber reinforced composites during end milling, finding significant differences in silicon content and hardness values of different fibers impacting the surface quality. Kenaf/PP composites showed the lowest delamination damages and best surface finish, while RH/PP composites were the most challenging to machine. Spindle speed was found to have a greater influence on machined surface quality compared to feed rate for NFRCs.

Manufacturing Technologies of Carbon/Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites and Their Properties: A Review

Dipen Kumar Rajak et al.

Summary: The study of lightweight composite materials, particularly glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites, has gained significant interest in recent years due to their tailorable properties and unique characteristics. While past research mainly focused on specific aspects, there is now a more detailed classification of GFs and CFs, their basic properties, as well as a comprehensive overview of manufacturing techniques, advantages, limitations, and future trends. This review also summarizes the main properties and applications of GFRP and CFRP composites, providing a solid database for further understanding and modeling their behavior.

Heat-Affected Zone and Mechanical Analysis of GFRP Composites with Different Thicknesses in Drilling Processes

Usama A. Khashaba et al.

Summary: This article provides a comprehensive study on the thermomechanical analysis and failure assessment of drilling glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites, using different techniques to measure temperature distribution, cutting forces, and delamination factors. The research concludes that cutting time has significant control over temperature, force, torque, and delamination during drilling of GFRP composites.
