Suitable Clamping Method for Milling of Thin-walled Ti6Al4V Components

Stable Milling of Thin-Walled Parts with Variable Dynamics

The milling of thin-walled parts can become a seriously complex problem. In this work, the problem of the variable dynamics of a test part has been solved through the calculation of 3D stability lobes which add a third dimension with the tool position along the part, to the traditional depth of cut-spindle speed pair. First, the dynamics of a test part in several machining steps have been calcu...

Thin-Walled Double Side Freeform Component Milling Process with Paraffin Filling Method "2279

The machining of thin-walled double side freeform component has many challenges in terms of the geometrical complexity, high-requirement accuracy, and especially low stiffness. This paper surveys the filling method during the milling processes of thin-walled double side freeform component. Firstly, the DEFORM-3D was used to analyze and calculate the surface residual stress which provides a theo...

NC Milling Process Planning for Thin-Walled Parts with Low Rigidity

To solve the problems that the low rigidity thin-walled part is easy to deform in NC milling process and some parts of the complex surface is difficult to process, this paper points out the measures for increasing accuracy of thin-walled NC machining process from the selection of material and blank, the choice of machine tool, the determination and optimization of the clamping method, the choic...

Prediction of Dynamic Milling Stability considering Time Variation of Deflection and Dynamic Characteristics in Thin-Walled Component Milling Process

Understanding the challenges in machining thin walled thin floored Avionics components

One of the biggest challenges in Aviation industries is milling part features from prismatic blocks to part features with wall and floor thicknesses very similar to sheet metal assemblies. Much research has gone and is still going into machining processes of thin walled components and near net machining. This paper presents an overview in understanding the importance, criticalities and challeng...
