A023 Investigation of Grinding Temperature of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics

Abstract

In machining of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), machining heat aflects an interface with matrix resin and carbon fibers to lead delamination of carbon fibers. In this study, the measuring technique of the grinding temperature of grain at grinding point and that at wheel contact area of CFRP is developed based on the Seebeck effect, and influence of grinding atmosphere, in which dry grinding, wet grinding supplying water-soluble coolant or that supplying liquid nitrogen, on grinding temperature of CFRP is experimentally investigated.
