Tool wear and surface roughness on milling carbon fiber-reinforced plastic using chilled air

Carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite is an expensive material that is widely used in aerospace applications because of its unique properties. During machining, several problems arise because of the carbon in CFRP. Abrasive wear occurs on the cutting tools during CFRP machining, thereby s...
