摘要：

Carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are composite materials that play a significant role in the growth of many industrial fields where high performance and lightness of the structures are required. At the same time, the management at the end of their life has required the development of more and more sustainable and efficient recycling solutions. Considering this, the present research work aims to investigate a mechanical recycling method and the cutting strategies able to machine CFRP components in their entirety, using a common milling machine in a job shop scheme, making a shorter supply chain, and leading to economic and environmental benefits. In detail, laminates obtained by unidirectional carbon fiber prepregs were worked through the peripheral down-milling process, by varying the spindle speed and the feed rate. The recording of the cutting forces enabled the evaluation of features such as the cutting power and the specific cutting energy. Moreover, the chips from the milling process were classified as a function of their dimensions. Finally, specimens made of chips and epoxy resin were characterized under bending conditions, to evaluate the effectiveness of using the chips from CFRP peripheral milling as the polymer's reinforcement and, in addition, to appreciate the goodness of this recycling strategy.
