Machining and Machinability of Natural Fiber Composites

Natural fiber-based composite has been gaining more prominence as engineering materials owing to its innumerable advantages when considering its sustainable and environmental aspects. Researchers have developed a wide variety of natural fiber-based polymer composites using various reinforcements and matrix materials. Considering the real-time applicability of the developed fiber-based composites, secondary applications and assembly of the developed components are mandatory. This chapter gives an overall analysis of the different conventional machining processes that have been carried out in natural fiber-based polymer composites and the effect of different process parameters on their outputs.
