Study on the Stability of High-Speed Milling of Thin-Walled Workpiece
Thin-walled structure is easy to vibrate in machining. The dynamic milling model of thin-walled workpiece is analyzed based on the analysis of degrees in two perpendicular directions of machine tool-workpiece system. In high speed milling of 2A12 aluminum alloy, the compensation method based on the modification of inertia effect is proposed and accurate cutting force coefficients are obtained. The machining system is divided into “spindle-cutter” and “workpiece-fixture” two sub-systems and the modal parameters of two sub-systems are acquired via modal analysis experiments. Finally, the stability lobes for high speed milling of 2A12 thin-walled workpiece are obtained by the use of these parameters. The results are verified against cutting tests.
