Tool wear context of tungsten solid carbide end milling tool on CFRP composite laminates

Aerospace companies frequently use carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites because of its remarkable material properties, including their light weight, high strength-to-weight ratio, and high stiffness. Cutting tools are crucial to the achievement of quantifiable outcomes including surface quality, tool life, and cutting force. Using tungsten carbide tools, milling operations are carried out on CFRP laminates. On a computer numerical control (CNC), all trials were carried out by adjusting the feed rate, spindle speed, and depth of cut. According to the experimental findings, the tool wear of tungsten carbide (WC-6%Co) tools is characterized by abrasive wear and rounding of the tool's cutting edge. According to my observations, the spindle speed, feed rate, and cut depth all directly correlated with tool life. The experimental and regression validation results for tool wear are remarkably similar, and the error is only about 5%. Finally, the regression model accurately predicts milling CFRP tool wear.
