Quality Assurance of Composite Grinding

Abstract

In the forthcoming, composites are progressively preferred as raw materials instead of non-reinforced materials in industrial applications due to their high stiffness, strength, young's modulus, and low density. One machining operation in the overall value-added chain is the grinding of these composite material qualities, which turns out to be an inevitable step in the subtractive machining area. The reinforced structure, constituents, and non-uniforms cause challenges in achieving the requested quality concerning accuracy and surface integrity. Hence, the essential purpose of this paper is to provide a strategy for the quality inspection of composites, including profile and surface roughness. Depending on the grinding processes parameters, the aim is to assess effective machining for reasonable quality characteristics demonstrated on selected reinforced matrix composites.
