Abstract
Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), which have been developed for their high mechanical properties, are insufficient to secure machinery. This paper investigates the use of magnetic abrasive finishing methods and the characteristics of surface roughness for mirror machining of CFRP. The cylindrical surface of CFRP was ground using a diamond paste with sizes of 0.1, 0.5, 1 and 6μm. Consequently, an effective surface roughness of 0.03μm(Ra) could be obtained via a paste size of 0.5μm. The surface roughness was not improved due to epoxy abrasion between the carbon fiber and the epoxy. (Received January 10, 2011)
