Abstract

The demand for composite materials is increasing across industries like energy storage, aerospace, automotive, and healthcare, driven by their exceptional attributes such as high strength-to-weight ratios and resistance to corrosion. However, machining these materials presents significant challenges due to their heterogeneous and anisotropic structures, leading to complex tool-workpiece interactions, rapid tool wear, poor surface quality, and environmental concerns. This review explores recent advancements in machining techniques for composite materials, with a particular focus on addressing key challenges and leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. It serves as a comprehensive resource to enhance machining practices in modern composite manufacturing by optimising machining parameters. The paper concludes by pinpointing significant research gaps in hybrid machining and AI-driven strategies, suggesting promising avenues for enhancing high-precision surface machining of fibre-reinforced composites and propelling the field forward.
