Many thin-walled structure components widely used in aero industries not only have complex structure and large size, but also need high machining accuracy. However, because of their poor rigidity, it is easy to bring machining deformation caused by the existence of the initial residual stresses, the fixing stresses, cutting forces and cutting heat. The difficulty in ensuring their machining accuracy becomes a big problem, so that how to effectively predict and control the machining deformation has become an important subject in the development and production of our national defense weapons. This paper established a 3-D Finite element model with consideration of milling forces, clamping forces and initial residual stress field. By using this model, machining deformation of thin-walled frame shape workpieces has been computed. The simulated results are compared with experimental data, and the correctness of the simulation is verified. The study is helpful to the prediction and the control of machining deformation for thin-walled parts.

Background: Thin-walled parts of aluminum alloy are easy to occur machining deformation duo to the characteristics of thin wall, low rigidity, and complex structure. Objective: To reduce and control the machining deformation, it is necessary to select reasonable machining parameters. Method: The influence of milling parameters on the milling forces, milling temperature, and machining deformation was analyzed through the established model based on ABAQUS. Then, the corresponding empirical formula was obtained by MATLAB, and parameters optimization was carried out as well. Besides, a lot of patents on machining thin-walled parts were studied. Results: The results shown that the prediction error of milling forces is about 15%, and 20% of milling temperature. In this case, the optimized milling parameters are as follows: ap=1 mm, ae=0.1 mm, n=12 000 r/min, and f=400 mm/min. It is of great significance to reduce the machining deformation and improve the machining quality of thin-walled parts.

The unknown and uneven macro-residual stresses in blanks will cause deformation on large-scale component, especially in non-prestretched plates. Based on the retrieval of stress field by measuring stress changes due to the rebalance of stresses after machining, a new idea is proposed in this paper to predict and control the machining deformation of large-scale components. It consists of analysis of the machining deformation, retrieval of macro-residual stress field, and finally optimization of following cutting process. In the retrieval process, the stresses are measured with an improved hole-drilling method and the measured data are then interpolated to 3D stress field.

Micro-cantilever has shown wide application prospect in the field of micro-sensors, actuators, gyroscope, and so on. There are abundant research studies on simple cantilever beam models, but there are few on S-shaped folding cantilever with complex structure, although it is widely used. In order to study the deformation failure of S-shaped folding cantilever, the force analysis of S-shaped folding cantilever was carried out in this article, and the stress values of different positions under the external load of the cantilever were deduced. The finite element model about S-shaped folding cantilever was built based on software ANSYS. The theoretical calculation was compared with the finite element calculation, and the results showed that the max stress is 681 MPa based on the derived theoretical formula, the max stress is 673 MPa based on the ANSYS, the error is 1.18%, which can prove formula is accurate. To further validate the stress predicted by the mathematical modeling, a micro-force testing platform was built to test the cantilever. Since the stress value cannot be measured directly in the test, the force corresponding to the stress was taken as standard and compared it with the simulation. The tested external force was corresponding the yield limit. The results showed that the experimental force was 0.06462 N before the plastic deformation occurred, the theoretical outcome was 0.065231 N corresponding the yield limit, the error was 0.94%. Both simulation and experimental results depict that the theoretical model is effective for predicting the stress of the S-shaped folded cantilever. The theoretical model helps to enhance the efficiency, and improve the performance, predictability, and control of the S-shaped folding cantilever.

Cutting stress coupled with clamping stress and initial stress affects the workpiece deformation. To predicate the workpiece deformation during machining, the multi-stress coupled model was developed. The finite element model of milling process is established and the milling forces were predicted. The predicated milling force, clamping force and initial stress were taken as initial conditions and were inputted into the multi-stress coupled model. Workpiece deformation during machining and reaction forces of locators were predicated. To maintain workpiece in a stable condition during machining, reaction forces of the locators when the cutting tool moving along the clamp side must be monitored.

Multilayer cutting is widely used in finish machining process of thin-walled parts to improve the machining precision. The paper presents a cutting allowance optimization method using genetic algorithm to improve the machining quality and efficiency of thin-walled parts in the field of aerospace. Considering the coupling relationship of the deformation between the layers in layered milling, the parameterized finite element model of thin-walled parts in side milling process is established. The best relationship between the workpiece stiffness and the cutting force is determined though iterative calculations, and the deformation caused by the cutting force can be minimized. The results show that the optimized distribution of the depth of finishing cutting was better than the experience. The method proposed in this paper can reduce the deformation of the workpiece during the machining process, and thus improve the machining accuracy.

AbstractAluminum alloy is the main structural material of aircraft, launch vehicle, spaceship, and space station and is processed by milling. However, tool wear and vibration are the bottlenecks in the milling process of aviation aluminum alloy. The machining accuracy and surface quality of aluminum alloy milling depend on the cutting parameters, material mechanical properties, machine tools, and other parameters. In particular, milling force is the crucial factor to determine material removal and workpiece surface integrity. However, establishing the prediction model of milling force is important and difficult because milling force is the result of multiparameter coupling of process system. The research progress of cutting force model is reviewed from three modeling methods: empirical model, finite element simulation, and instantaneous milling force model. The problems of cutting force modeling are also determined. In view of these problems, the future work direction is proposed in the following four aspects: (1) high-speed milling is adopted for the thin-walled structure of large aviation with large cutting depth, which easily produces high residual stress. The residual stress should be analyzed under this particular condition. (2) Multiple factors (e.g., eccentric swing milling parameters, lubrication conditions, tools, tool and workpiece deformation, and size effect) should be considered comprehensively when modeling instantaneous milling forces, especially for micro milling and complex surface machining. (3) The database of milling force model, including the corresponding workpiece materials, working condition, cutting tools (geometric figures and coatings), and other parameters, should be established. (4) The effect of chatter on the prediction accuracy of milling force cannot be ignored in thin-walled workpiece milling. (5) The cutting force of aviation aluminum alloy milling under the condition of minimum quantity lubrication (mql) and nanofluid mql should be predicted.

Machining of large monolithic structures is standard practice in today’s aerospace world. Driven by cost and performance, it is becoming necessary for airframe manufacturers to machine parts better, faster, lighter, and cheaper than ever before. When machining these large monolithic structures, however, distortion becomes a significant problem. The typical solution to this problem is to machine with lower than optimum material removal rates, and perform additional fixture rotations – both of which add unnecessary time and cost to the manufacturing process. A finite element model has been developed specifically to predict and control these distortions. The model takes into consideration the machining-induced residual stresses, as well as the bulk stresses in the material from the manufacturer.
