MODERN POLYMER COMPOSITE MATERIALS AND POSSIBILITIES OF THEIR LASER MACHINING
https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2018.10-12.082-104
Abstract
The widespread introduction of polymer composite materials in key sectors of modern industry such as wind and hydropower engineering, aircraft and machinery ones, etc. due to the high level of their strength properties, versatility and ability to provide the lowest weight of parts of products raises the problem of their processing. Traditional processing methods (mechanical and abrasive water jet machining) have some significant shortcomings: high tool wear, delamination due to vibration and shock loadings, limitations on the cutting contour and others. The paper deals with the polymer composites laser machining which is considered to be one of the promising solutions for elimination of conventional methods disadvantages due to a contact-free, flexible and high-performance processing method. As a result of analysis of theoretical and experimental domestic and foreign works, the use of industrial ytterbium fiber lasers are found to be a promising direction for high-quality and productive processing of polymer composite materials. The results of studies using the experimental technological setups on the basis of nanosecond pulsed and continuous ytterbium fiber lasers with a radiation power up to 1 kW and optical scanning systems based on the biaxial galvo scanners and focusing F-Theta lenses with beam travel speeds up to 20 m / s have shown that the laser multi-pass machining of polymer composite materials with layer-by-layer removal (ablation) of the material due to the evaporation mechanism allows for precise and high quality cutting and drilling of carbon and glass fiber reinforced plastics and carbon plastics with a thickness 1–3 mm.
