Abstract In order to further improve the dimensional accuracy of micromilled thin walls with high aspect ratios, the machining process should be actively controlled. An active cutting force measurement and cutting parameter compensation device is developed to realize the real-time measurement of radial cutting forces and compensation of radial cutting parameters in thin wall cutting process. Firstly, based on the cantilever beam deformation theory, a mathematical model is established to calculate the deformation and cutting force of thin walls. By measuring the cutting force, the thin wall deformation in the cutting process could be estimated. Then, the obtained incremental thin wall deformation is to be compared with the compensation threshold, which is set at 0.5 μm. If the value of the incremental deformation is less than 0.5 μm, compensation will not be processed. Otherwise, the incremental deformation is used as the compensation value for iterative compensation, until the incremental deformation of the thin wall is less than 0.5 μm. At last, a contrast experiment is carried out. The experimental results show that the introduced device and method are feasible. Machining quality of the thin wall has been obviously improved in dimension precision after the cutting parameter compensations.

In this work, a milling dynamometer based on strain gauge with an octagonal and square ring was designed and tested. Strain gauges were attached with the mechanical rings to detect the deformation, during the machining process. Wheatstone bridge circuit was equipped with gauges to acquire the strain as voltage owing to the deformation of mechanical rings when machining takes place. The finite element analysis (FEA) was used to identify the location of maximum deformation and stress. The direction of rings and location of gauges were decided to increase the sensitivity and decrease the cross-sensitivity. Then, the cutting force was acquired through NI 6221 M series data acquisition (DAQ) card. The dynamometer had undergone a cycle of tests to verify its static and dynamic characteristics. The metrological characterization was performed according to the calibration procedure based on ISO 376 – 2011 standard. The cutting force was measured with both the dynamometers through milling experiments based on Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array and the results were recorded. The measured cutting force varied from 300 N to 550 N. The obtained results depicted that low-cost milling dynamometer was reliable to measure the three component machining force. Overall, the square ring based dynamometer provides the better static and dynamic characteristics in terms of linearity, cross-sensitivity (4%), uncertainty (0.054%), and natural frequency (362.41 rev/s).

In the milling process, cutting forces contain key information about the machining process status in terms of workpiece quality and tool condition. On-line cutting force measurement is key for machining condition monitoring and machined surface quality assurance. This paper presents a novel instrumented working table with integrated polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) thin-film sensors, thus enabling the dynamic milling force measurement with compact structures. To achieve this, PVDF thin-film sensors are integrated into the working table to sense forces in different directions and the dedicated cutting force decoupling model is derived. A prototype instrumented working table is developed and validated. The validation demonstrates that profiles of the forces measured from the developed instrumented working table prototype and the dynamometer match well. Furthermore, the milling experiment results convey that the instrumented working table prototype could also identify the tool runout due to tool manufacturing or assembly errors, and the force signal spectrum analysis indicates that the developed working table can capture the tool passing frequency correctly, therefore, is suitable for the milling force measurement.

Vibration that occur in machining process is forced vibration. This vibration caused by external force excitation. External force that cause vibration in machining process is cutting force. This research was aims to determine the effect of cutting fluids and cutting speeds to vibration in milling process. The specimens were made using a cutting process type face milling, profile milling, pocket milling, and slot milling. Cutting speeds was variated at 62.83 m/min; 110 m/min; 157.14 m/min; 188.5 m/min. Vibration testing was done using the accelerometer sensor. Vibration response taken is the amplitude. The results show any type of cutting process has a different amplitude. Face milling has the smallest amplitude while slot milling has the biggest one. At cutting speeds parameter, the faster of cutting speeds the smaller of the amplitude. The use of cutting fluids can reduce the friction value between cutting tool and workpiece so that the cutting force will decrease. The use of cutting fluids causing the smaller the cutting force. The increase of the cutting force will cause greater vibration

Titanium alloy membrane disk is a typical part in aerial engine and it belongs to variable cross-section thin-wall part, which is apt to change its nature and difficult to machine. Serrated chip is prone to create in the machining process. A periodic serrated chip will cause high frequency undulation of the cutting force, and further leads to the cutting tool wear and affect the surface’s integrity. Based on the turning of titanium membrane disk, this paper used metallographic microscope and SEM to observe the morphology and micro shape of the chip, and analyzed the influence of cutting conditions on chip formation and the reason for serrated chip. Finally, a FEM analysis on the chip formation process is completed. Analysis results show that under all the set cutting conditions the serrated chip was formed in the machining process. The shearing slippage and fracture caused by dislocation movement can better explain the formation mechanism of serrated chip. The feed rate has great effect on the chip formation and the forming frequency of serrated chip. The FEM analysis results primly consistent with the experiment results, which can accurately forecast the cutting force, the distribution of temperature and the surface quality.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is an arising production process due to the possibility to produce monolithic components with complex shapes with one single process and without the need for special tooling. AM-produced parts still often require a machining phase, since their surface finish is not compliant with the strict requirements of the most advanced markets, such as aerospace, energy, and defense. Since reduced weight is a key requirement for these parts, they feature thin walls and webs, usually characterized by low stiffness, requiring the usage of low productivity machining parameters. The idea of this paper is to set up an approach which is able to predict the dynamics of a thin-walled part produced using AM. The knowledge of the workpiece dynamics evolution throughout the machining process can be used to carry out cutting parameter optimization with different objectives (e.g., chatter avoidance, force vibrations reduction). The developed approach exploits finite element (FE) analysis to predict the workpiece dynamics during the machining process, updating its changing geometry. The developed solution can automatically optimize the toolpath for the machining operation, generated by any Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software updating spindle speed in accordance with the selected optimization strategies. The developed approach was tested using as a test case an airfoil.

In order to improve the machining quality and reduce the dimensional errors of micro high-aspect-ratio straight thin walls, the on-line cutting parameter compensation device has been introduced and corresponding micromilling processes have been investigated. Layered milling strategies for the micromilling of thin walls have been modeled and simulated for thin walls with different thicknesses based on the finite element method. The radial cutting parameters compensation method is adopted to compensate the thin wall deformation by raising the radial cutting parameters since the thin wall deformation make the actual radial cutting parameters smaller than nominal ones. The experimental results show that the dimensional errors of the thin wall have been significantly reduced after the radial cutting parameter compensation. The average relative dimensional error is reduced from 6.9% to 2.0%. Moreover, the fabricated thin walls keep good shape formation. The reduction of the thin wall dimensional error shows that the simulation results are reliable, which has important guiding significance for the improvement of thin wall machining quality, especially the improvement of dimensional accuracy. The experimental results show that the developed device and the machining strategy can effectively improve the micromilling quality of thin walls.

The stress distribution of a steel wall is important in the determination of its shear capacity, e.g. under a wind load or an earthquake load. Since the wall has also to simultaneously carry the gravity load, the influence of this uniform vertical load on the stress distribution is relevant. For a simple-supported thick and square wall, a stress distribution in a cosine form was adequate. However, for an extremely thin wall, a cosine distribution is no longer valid, especially in the post-buckling condition. In this work a three-segment distribution is proposed, i.e. at both edge segments a cosine distribution from edge stress to buckling stress and in the middle segment a constant distribution of buckling stress. To evaluate the proposed distribution, a finite element model using the software ANSYS/LS-DYNA is developed. This model has been verified using the results obtained from own experiments and works done by others. The results show that the proposed stress distribution is able to describe the behavior of thin walls for different aspect ratios and slendernesses. The cosine distribution and the effective width model are also discussed.
