Getting Technical - Composite: Advances in Composite material machinability
Composite materials have revolutionized industries with their diverse properties, making them indispensable across various applications.
Despite the vast array of composite materials available today, when it comes to machining them, they can be broadly categorized into six major families: PMCs, MMCs, CMCs, CCCs, hybrid composites, and natural fibre composites.
Each family presents unique challenges and opportunities in machinability. But there are also common denominators.
Understanding these helps in developing effective machining strategies, optimizing material performance, and ensuring high-quality outputs in various applications.
