Abstract
The high-speed-dry (HSD) machining is now recognized as a strong potential dry-cutting technique to tackle the rapidly growing productivity demand of carbon-fiber-reinforced-polyetheretherketone (CF/PEEK). The thermal-field is an essential breakthrough for eliminating the severe thermal effect of cutting temperature beyond CF/PEEK glass transition temperature Tg. However, the anisotropy and temperature-sensitive thermal conductivity of CF/PEEK lead to great challenges in thermal analytical modeling. Addressing this issue, a novel thermal-field analytical model that incorporates fiber orientation-dominated thermal anisotropy is developed to investigate the thermal field of machined surface layer for unidirectional (UD) CF/PEEK HSD milling, where the nonlinear thermal conductivity of CF/PEEK are imported into this model. With experiment verification, the thermal-field model can forecast the spatio-temporal distribution of workpiece temperature. Then, the thermal mechanisms of fiber orientations and milling parameters are clarified to restrict workpiece temperature within the Tg for limited thermal damage and reveal the feasibility essence of CF/PEEK HSD milling.
