Abstract: Machined mechanical parts made from reinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composite materials have become standard in many high-technology engineering fields. Considering their properties and potential areas of application it is necessary to investigate the machining of reinforced PEEK composite with 30% of carbon fibre (PEEK CF30). In this study, dry turning tests were carried out on PEEK CF 30 specimens using TiN coated cutting tool. An L27 orthogonal array was used for tests. A fuzzy rule-based model is developed to predict the machining force components in turning of carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. Good agreement is observed between the predictive model results and the experimental values. The fuzzy rule-based model can be used effectively for predicting the machining force components in turning CFRP composites.
