Design of Typical Aviation Titanium Alloy Benchmark

Article Preview

Abstract:

As technology develops, the aviation structures become more and more complex and consist of more difficult-to-machine features. In order to evaluate the cutting tool performance, it is necessary to design a testing thin-walled benchmark with some typical difficult-to-machine features which are extracted from complex integrated components used in aviation. Firstly, the models with different typical features were designed and optimized using UG NX. Then, based on the analysis of process of typical features, the specific processing strategies of testing benchmarks were proposed. Finally, the process was analog simulated with CAM to evaluate whether it was qualified for machining. The results would make preparations for the evaluation of different cutting tool performance.
