Machining of carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites: a preliminary investigation of high power fibre laser

Carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites (CFRP) is one of the common materials used in machining by various manufacturing industries. The most persistent challenges during the machining, both concerning the consistency of machined surfaces and the properties of the material, are the difficulties s...
