The development of the manufacturing-based industries is principally due to the improvement of various machining operations. Experimental studies are important in researches, and their results are also considered useful by the manufacturing industries with their aim to increase quality and productivity. Turning is one of the principal machining processes, and it has been studied since the 20th century in order to prevent machining problems. Chatter or self-excited vibrations represent an important problem and generate the most negative effects on the machined workpiece. To study this cutting process problem, various models were developed to predict stable and unstable cutting conditions. Stability analysis using lobes diagrams became useful to classify stable and unstable conditions. The purpose of this study is to analyze a turning process stability using an analytical model, with three degrees of freedoms, supported and validated with experimental tests results during roughing operations conducted on AU4G1 thin-walled tubular workpieces. The effects of the tubular workpiece thickness, the feed rate and the tool rake angle on the machining process stability will be presented. In addition, the effect of an additional structural damping, mounted inside the tubular workpiece, on the machining process stability will be also studied. It is found that the machining stability process is affected by the tubular workpiece thickness, the feed rate and the tool rake angle. The additional structural damping increases the stability of the machining process and reduces considerably the workpiece vibrations amplitudes. The experimental results highlight that the dynamic behavior of turning process is governed by large radial deformations of the thin-walled workpieces. The influence of this behavior on the stability of the machining process is assumed to be preponderant.

From a practical point of view, in machining applications, chatter vibration constitutes a major problem during the cutting process. It is becoming increasingly difficult to suppress chatter during cutting at high speeds. Many investigators have regarded chatter vibrations as a “natural” phenomenon during the cutting process and a part of the process itself. In classical machining operations with thick-walled workpieces chatter vibrations occur when the cutting depth exceeds stability limits dependent on the machine tool. On the other hand, in the case of thin-walled cylindrical workpieces, chatter vibration problems are not so simple to formulate. The main purpose of this study is to qualify the dynamic behavior of a thin-walled workpiece during the turning process. It contains two parts: the cutting process simulation and the definition of experimental stability criteria. In the first part, a numerical model, which simulates the turning process of thin-walled cylindrical workpieces, is proposed. This model also permits obtaining workpiece responses to excitation generated by cutting forces. Finally, the stability of the process is discussed.

Chatter vibrations in the cutting process have a central place in many machining applications. A numerical and theoretical approach of self-excited vibrations during the turning process of thin-walled hollow workpieces has been presented in the accompanying paper. Furthermore, a finite element model has been proposed to simulate the dynamics of the system. The response to a Dirac excitation, presented as Nyquist curves, is proposed in order to characterize the dynamics of the turning process and the stability criterion. In this the second part of two related papers, the main objective is to validate the simulated dynamic behavior by using the experimental approach. The results of machining tests performed on thin-walled tubes with steel and aluminum alloys, using different operating conditions (dimensions, geometry and setting conditions) are presented and discussed.

Nowadays, industrialists, especially those in the automobile and aeronautical transport fields, seek to lighten the weight of different product components by developing new materials lighter than those usually used or by replacing some massive parts with thin-walled hollow parts. This lightening operation is carried out in order to reduce the energy consumption of the manufactured products while guaranteeing optimal mechanical properties of the components and increasing quality and productivity. To achieve these objectives, some research centers have focused their work on the development and characterization of new light materials and some other centers have focused their work on the analysis and understanding of the encountered problems during the machining operation of thin-walled parts. Indeed, various studies have shown that the machining process of thin-walled parts differs from that of rigid parts. This difference comes from the dynamic behavior of the thin-walled parts which is different from that of the massive parts. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to first highlight some of these problems through the measurement and analysis of the cutting forces and vibrations of tubular parts with different thicknesses in AU4G1T351 aluminum alloy during the turning process. The experimental results highlight that the dynamic behavior of turning process is governed by large radial deformations of the thin-walled workpieces and the influence of this behavior on the variations of the chip thickness and cutting forces is assumed to be preponderant. The second objective is to provide manufacturers with a practical solution to the encountered vibration problems by improving the structural damping of thin-walled parts by additional damping. It is found that the additional structural damping increases the stability of the cutting process and reduces considerably the vibrations amplitudes.

Chatter is more likely to occur during the turning process of a thin-walled cylindrical workpiece owing to the low rigidity of such workpieces. Chatter causes intensive vibration, deterioration of the surface finish accuracy, tool damage, and tool wear. Tuned mass dampers (TMD) are usually applied as a passive damping technique to induce a large damping effect using a small mass. This study experimentally investigated the effect of the mounting arrangement and tuning parameters of the TMDs on the production of chatter during the turning process of a thin-walled cylinder, wherein multiple TMDs with extremely small mass ratios were attached to the rotating workpiece. The results of the cutting tests performed by varying the circumferential and axial mounting positions of the TMDs exhibited different characteristics of the chatter suppression effect. Conclusively, the TMDs could suppress the chatter generated by the vibration mode with circumferential nodes if they were mounted on the workpiece to avoid the coincidence of the circumferential arrangement with the pitch of the vibration nodes, regardless of the extremely small mass of the TMDs.
