This paper discusses tool-wear processes in the milling of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates. Plane down-milling tests with unidirectional and cross-directional CFRP laminates were performed using two types of cutting tools made of tungsten carbide and polycrystalline diamond. Measurements of the changes in the cutting forces and tool-wear widths over the cutting distance revealed that the fiber orientation direction in the CFRP laminates relative to the tool-traveling direction is an important parameter to determine the tool-wear processes. Additionally, based on obtained experimental results, a wear parameter to characterize cutting tool wear is introduced. This parameter can accurately explain the relationship between the worn tool-edge profiles and the processed-surface quality.

In carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite, the alignment of continuous carbon fibers guides the directional flow of eddy currents, which is beneficial to the structural and damage detection. In this study, for the purpose of impact damage repair, the transmitter-receiver (T-R) and the flat-tangent eddy current probes are used to determine the fiber orientations and stacking sequence in the CFRP laminate by surface scanning. Theoretical analysis shows that the T-R probe can flexibly pick up the magnetic field generated by the stretched eddy current in CFRP layers. In the meanwhile, the flat-tangent probe possesses layer selective characteristics. By calculating the fiber distribution images of individual directions based on two-dimensional fast Fourier transform (2D-FFT) and comparing the order of pixel intensity values of these images, the fiber orientation and the stacking sequence in the laminate plates can be obtained simultaneously, which provides guidance for damage detection and repair of the CFRP structures.
