https://popups.uliege.be/esaform21/index.php?id=3844 Hybrid structures made of fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) and metals are currently in focus of research and industry to develop weight reduced and functional optimized components for lightweight solutions. Manufacturing processes were adapted and developed to produce components based on hybrid materials with high economic efficiency. The cutting process is used to pre-assemble the semi-finished products or to post-process the edges of consolidated parts. The mechanisms of damage edge behavior and possible cutting qualities on these parts are not investigated jet. To close this knowledge gap and to support the future application of hybrid FRP-Metal-Laminates different cutting procedures were studied. This paper shows the process related dependences on the failure behavior of two dimensional specimens. The failure modes are described via quality characteristics like surface roughness, trueness and precision of the cut as well as influences of aging processes. In the end optimized parameter for each process are shown and compared under technical and economic criteria for large scale production. In the scope of this work an experimental study of piercing of glass and carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic with different steel and bonding agents at different cutting sequences were performed. It was shown that the cutting edge geometry significantly differs. Possible mechanical explanations of the dependencies were formulated. Also the accuracy of the cuts was evaluated which showed a higher accuracy for the steel component. The measurements on the surface roughness could not show any dependencies and relations.
