NEW METHODS AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR PROCESSING CARBON FIBER-REINFORCED PLASTICS

Abstract

The article deals with the application of new methods and approaches for machining of carbon plastics on the basis of the analysis of foreign information sources with a search depth of five years. The complex problems of composite materials processing, in particular, carbon plastics, the solutions of which have not yet been found in full, are noted. Applying of new methods of hole formation, part milling, hydro-abrasive and laser processing allows to obtain new output quality indicators is pointed out. The implementation of considered methods, developed by foreign scientists, may supplement the tools arsenal and technologies of composite materials processing at domestic enterprise. The importance of quality assurance of composites` complex surfaces processing and formation in aircraft and aerospace engineering, where utilization level of this material is constantly increasing, is indicated.
