| Abstract: | Glass
fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) composite materials are a feasible alternative
to engineering materials and are being extensively used in variety of
engineering applications. Machining of unidirectional glass fiber reinforced
plastic (UD-GFRP) composites is different from that of conventional materials
and causes excessive tool wear. A study is conducted in the machining of unidirectional
glass fiber reinforced plastic (UD-GFRP) composite material to investigate the
effect of tool nose radius, tool rake angle, feed rate, cutting speed, depth of
cut and along with cutting environment (dry, wet and cooled (5-7°C)
temperature) on the surface roughness produced. The experimental results reveal
that the most significant machining parameters for surface roughness is feed
rate followed by cutting speed. Cutting environment does not influence the
surface roughness significantly. The predicted values and measured values are in
good agreement as observed by further confirmation experiments. |
