Process Optimization for Milling Deformation Control of Titanium Alloy Thin-Walled Web

Article Preview

Abstract:

The titanium alloy thin-walled structure has been widely used in aircraft construction as one of the main load-bearing components. However, it is difficult to ensure the machining accuracy because of the machining difficulties of materials and structures. This paper takes titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) thin-walled web as the research object and analyzes the factors of milling deformation. Based on the analysis, the milling process of the titanium alloy thin-walled structure is optimized, including the decrease of cutting force and the increase of processing system rigidity. Furthermore, a reasonable milling scheme is put forward.
