Kevlar纤维增强复合材料激光-铣削组合加工试验及可行性分析

Research on the feasibility and machining experiment of the laser-milling combination machining for Kevlar fiber reinforced composite

  • 摘要: Kevlar增强复合材料(Kevlar fiber-reinforced plastic,KFRP)在武器装甲防护领域受到了强烈的关注和广泛的应用。在机械加工中极易产生拉毛、难以排屑、刀具磨损严重等问题,在激光加工中依然存在诸多难点。为同时规避KFRP机械加工缺陷和激光加工的短板问题,本文提出KFRP激光-铣削组合加工,分析KFRP激光-铣削组合加工工艺的可行性。试验表明,KFRP激光加工中存在明显的纤维炭化区、树脂熔融区,其中,在树脂熔融区,纤维基本未受损。激光加工的最大切缝宽度在0.5 mm以下,深度不超过2 mm,激光加工工艺参数对切缝宽度a的影响相对较小,但对切缝深度h、纤维炭化区宽度A、树脂熔融区宽度Am影响显著。激光-铣削组合加工中,切屑呈大块状和絮状,当纤维烧蚀不完全时,容易出现抽丝现象。KFRP激光-铣削组合加工,不仅能有效的避免纤维拉毛现象,还能大幅度降低切削力和切削温度,从而提高加工质量,降低加工难度。

     

    Abstract: The Kevlar fiber-reinforced plastic (KFRP) had been received much attention and wide application in the field of weapon armor protection. There were many problems in mechanical processing, such as furry, difficult to chip removal, severe tool wear and so on. Many processing difficulties still remained. In order to avoid these defects of mechanical processing and these drawbacks, the laser-milling combination machining for KFRP was presented in this paper. The feasibility of the machining laser-milling combination machining was analyzed. The results show that the fiber carbonization zone and resin melting zone are observed after KFRP laser processing. In resin melting zone, the fibers are basically intact. The maximum kerf width is no more than 0.5 mm, and the kerf depth is less than 2 mm. The effects of the laser parameters on the kerf width a are relatively small, but that on the kerf depth h, fiber carbonization zone width A and resin melting zone width Am are significant. During milling of the laser-milling processing, the shape of the chip is big blocked and flocculent. If the fibers are incomplete ablation, the burrs are easy to occur. The burrs not only can be effectively avoided, but also the cutting forces and cutting temperature can be greatly reduced. Therefore, the processing quality can be improved and the degree of the processing difficulty can be reduced by using the laser-milling combination machining for KFRP.
