Abstract:
GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic) are the advanced materials for modern high technology products. The combination of different materials in manufacturing of GFRP composites like Glass fiber and Polymer matrix having different mechanical properties causes a problem in processing or cutting or making a hole due to their heterogeneous structures which are not common in metal components. Due to these varying properties, different defects are generated during processing of these materials. In this paper, various defects produced during cutting operations of GFRP composites are discussed.
