Prospects of diamond-abrasive tools for drilling and milling of polymer composite materials
The article presents the formulation of the question of the technological problems of mechanical processing of polymer composite materials. Alternative methods of sizing are listed, which, due to certain technological shortcomings, have not completely replaced mechanical processing, that is, mechanical processing is relevant. It is shown that the blade cutting tool can work effectively only at certain angles of cutting into the processed workpieces made of polymer composite materials. The concept of diamond-abrasive processing of polymer composite materials is proposed, which consists in the fact that the grains of the cutting tool, due to their plurality and complex shape, are able to cut the reinforcing fibers of the composite at any angle of feed of the diamond or abrasive tool.
