Machining Performance and Tool Wear Behaviour of 3D Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Silicon Carbide Composites
Abstract: 3D Cf/SiC composites, consisting of carbon fibers reinforced with silicon carbide are increasingly used in aerospace and defence due to their excellent mechanical properties and high-temperature strength. However, their heterogeneous, anisotropic, and abrasive nature makes them difficult to machine, resulting in accelerated tool degradation and poor surface integrity. This study explores the dry milling performance of 3D Cf/SiC composites using polycrystalline diamond (PCD) and cubic boron nitride (CBN) cutting tools. …

Capability Database of Injection Molding Process—Requirements Study for Wider Suitability and Higher Accuracy
Abstract: AbstractGenerally, there is little disagreement that an early consideration of dimensional accuracies achieved in production is conducive to the success of development of injection molding products. While different process capability databases (PCDBs) provide guidance for a meaningful estimation of the expected part variation, the adoption of corresponding guidelines and (proprietary) software tools seems to be, however, limited in industrial practice so far. This research paper addresses the gap between the …
