Abstract

Glass fibre reinforced polymers hard to machine due to matrix, fibre structure combination. CO2 lasers were used to cut of glass fibre reinforced polymer composite. To know the prospective factors that considerably affect the cutting quality is essential. This research outlines a method to investigate CO2 laser machining of composites and to evaluate the process variables include cutting speed, current, and nozzle work material gap. Experiment indicate that the higher the current and the higher the cutting speed, result in higher the material removal rate and other parameter such as current and nozzle, work material gapare also significant impact on the cutting process of the glass fibre polymer composite.
