Carbon fiber products are mostly customized. For example, carbon fiber boards can be processed differently according to actual needs, such as drilling and cutting. The strength of carbon fiber plates may be reduced due to these treatments, so technicians need to use reasonable methods to complete them. How to cut the carbon fiber plate? What are the ways to cut it? Let’s see.
Several methods of carbon fiber plate cutting
1. Mechanical cutting method: This is the most basic and commonly used cutting method, including grinding wheel cutting machine cutting, machine tool cutting, etc. When cutting with a grinder, the speed of the grinding wheel is required to be high, otherwise it will easily cut out burrs and affect the performance. When the machine tool is cut, it needs to be equipped with a suitable alloy tool with a hard texture, such as diamond. Because the carbon fiber plate is stronger, the loss of the tool is higher, and the tool wear is not replaced in time. There will be a lot of burrs when cutting the carbon fiber plate.
2. Water cutting method: The water cutting method uses a water jet formed under high pressure to cut, which can be divided into two methods: with sand and without sand. Cutting carbon fiber panels using water jetting requires the Gaza method. The carbon fiber plate cut by waterjet should not be too thick, which is suitable for batch processing, and it can be used when the plate is thinner, and at the same time, it has higher requirements for the operator’s technique.
3. Laser cutting: The laser cutting method uses the high temperature effect when the laser condenses at one point to complete the cutting operation. Ordinary power laser cutting machines are less effective in cutting carbon fiber panels, so you need to choose a high-power laser cutting machine, and after laser cutting, there will be burning marks on the edges of the carbon fiber panels, which will affect the overall performance and aesthetics, so it is not very Laser cutting is recommended.
4. Ultrasonic cutting: Ultrasonic cutting is a new technology of technological iteration. It is a very suitable method to use ultrasonic energy to cut carbon fiber plates. The edge of the cut carbon fiber plate is clean and tidy, and the damage is small. At the same time, it also supports batch processing. The disadvantage is that the cost is relatively high.
In China, the mechanical cutting method is still mostly used to realize the shape processing of carbon fiber panels. The combination of machine tool + cutting tool can be customized for different shapes, with higher controllability and lower cost.
