Methods of mechanical treatment of machine parts made of fibrous polymer composite materials (Review)

Abstract

The growing volumes of production of mechanical engineering products made of fibrous polymer composite materials can be explained with the possibility of producing products of relatively small mass with specified physical and mechanical, thermophysical, dielectric and many other properties, which allows them to be highly competitive in comparison with products made of metals and their alloys. The results of a review of the main defects that arise during the machining of machine parts made of fibrous polymer composite materials, as well as ways to prevent their occurrence and improve the quality of the treated surfaces are presented and discussed. Based on the analysis of the information presented, it was concluded that increasing the efficiency of mechanical treatment of machine parts made of fibrous polymer composite materials and ensuring the durability of such parts was possible due to an integrated approach to the development of a technological process of mechanical treatment, taking into account individual characteristics of various types of fibrous polymer composite materials.
