Optimization of Surface Texturing Parameters in Additively Manufactured Continuous Fiber Composites Using Abrasive Waterjet Technique for Composite Repair Applications

 


In a breakthrough for aerospace and advanced manufacturing, researchers are optimizing surface texturing parameters in additively manufactured continuous fiber composites using the abrasive waterjet technique. This innovative approach enhances the bonding efficiency during composite repair, ensuring stronger adhesion and extended service life of critical structures.

Continuous fiber composites are widely used in aerospace, automotive, and energy industries for their superior strength-to-weight ratio. However, repairing damaged components poses significant challenges due to weak interfacial bonding. By fine-tuning surface roughness, jet pressure, standoff distance, and traverse speed, scientists can significantly improve repair quality without compromising structural integrity.

This optimization not only reduces maintenance costs but also promotes sustainable repair practices by extending the lifespan of high-performance composites. The research marks a step forward in integrating additive manufacturing, surface engineering, and waterjet machining to meet the ever-increasing demands of next-generation engineering applications.
