Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers PCD Carbide End Mills High-Speed
Machining
Introduction:
PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond): A synthetic diamond layer sintered onto a carbide substrate,
offering extreme hardness (2nd only to natural diamond) and wear
resistance.
Carbide Body: Provides structural strength and rigidity while allowing for tool
geometries like flutes, angles, and coatings.
Features:
1. Why PCD for CFRP?
Extreme Abrasiveness: Carbon fibers rapidly wear down carbide tools. PCD
(Polycrystalline Diamond) offers superior wear resistance.
High-Speed Capability: Can run at 1,000–4,000 m/min (vs. 200–800 m/min for carbide).
Clean Cuts: Minimizes delamination, fraying, and fiber pull-out.
Long Tool Life: 5–20x longer than carbide in CFRP machining.
2. PCD End Mill Designs for CFRP
2–6 Flutes (fewer flutes for chip clearance, more for finishing).
Sharp, Polished Edges to shear fibers cleanly.
Up/Down-Cut Geometries to control surface finish.
Compression Cutters (for laminated CFRP) to prevent delamination.
3. Best Practices
✔ Low Radial Engagement to reduce heat & tool wear.
✔ High RPM + Low Feed for best surface finish.
✔ Vacuum Extraction to remove hazardous carbon dust.
✔ Climb Milling preferred for smooth edges.
4. Top Applications
Aerospace: Wing skins, fuselage panels.
Automotive: Lightweight structural parts.
Wind Energy: Turbine blades.
Sporting Goods: Bicycle frames, rackets.
