Background: To reduce environmental pollution and improve resource utilization, lightweight equipment has become an important development trend of manufacturing. Therefore, thin-walled parts are being widely used in automobiles, aerospace, etc. due to their lightweight and high specific strength. However, they usually deform during machining due to poor stiffness. Objective: To reduce the machining deformation, the finite element method has been used to analyze the deformation law of thin-walled parts. Method: A 3D milling model of Al7050-T7451 thin-walled parts was established. Then, the influence of hole structure, rib, and auxiliary support on the deformation was investigated under the condition of optimized parameters. Moreover, some related patents on the research of machining deformation of thin-walled parts were also consulted. Results: The results showed that the established 3D model could accurately predict the machining deformation of thin-walled parts. The machining deformation on the edges is more severe due to holes that weaken the stiffness of thin-walled parts. Besides, ribbed slab and auxiliary support can shorten machining deformation by 71.9% and 65.2%, respectively.

This paper deals with deformation control and chatter suppression in the milling of thin-walled blade. The purpose is to generate tool paths that can control machining deformation and suppress chatter during milling. To achieve this object, symmetrical spiral milling approach is proposed to release residual stress on both sides of the blade in the same machining circle to control machining deformation. Besides, in order to suppress chatter during milling of thin-walled blade, nonuniform-allowance is left on both sides of the blade during machining, this can effectively increase the rigidity, thereby chatter cannot easily occur during machining. Machining experiments showed that the proposed approaches can dramatically improve the machining quality, decrease deformation and suppress chatter in the milling of thin-walled blade.

In this paper, a new procedure is proposed to study the deformation errors for spiral milling process of blade, which can be simplified as a stepwise beam based on the geometry and clamping characteristics. Kirchhoff beam theory is adopted to analyze the bending and torsion deformation. The relationship between machining deformation errors and the workpiece’s geometric dimension are also established based on the simplified model. Corresponding algorithms are realized by MATLAB codes. Experiment test shows that the results predicted by the proposed model are in well agreement with measured ones.

In milling process, cutting force is the main cause of machining deformation, and in machining of thin-walled parts, machining deformation is the major factor for machining error. In this paper, through finite element analysis software ABAQUS, three-dimensional simulation analysis on the machining of SiCp/Al composite thin-walled parts with a polycrystalline diamond tool have been carried out. It reveals the influence of radial depth of cut, cutting speed, and feed per tooth on cutting force. Analysis results show that: higher speed, small radial depth of cut and moderate feed per tooth can effectively reduce cutting force and inhibit deformation. In addition, a comparison is made between analysis results of milling force and high accuracy milling force prediction model, results from the two methods are similar.

Aiming at the problem that the machining accuracy of 45 steel rectangular thin-walled parts are difficult to ensure because of poor rigidity, poor manufacturability and easy machining deformation, it used the three-dimensional finite element method, determined the material model of 45 steel and established a prediction model of 45 steel rectangular thin-walled parts milling deformation. The prediction results display that the deformation of the workpiece shows obvious parabola in length direction and a linear decreasing trend in width direction. It verifies the correctness of the prediction model through milling experiments and provides the method and basis for the prediction and control of machining deformation of 45 steel thin-walled parts.
