Improving dynamic process stability for milling thin-walled blades: Systematic selection of machining strategy
Different blisk geometries – from LPC to HPC – but how to select its advantageous machining strategy?
Challenge and Motivation
- The workpiece dynamics change continuously during milling due to material removal.
- It is often unclear which machining strategy is the most advantageous for a given blisk geometry.
Objective
- Decision basis for selection of machining strategy depending on blisk geometry – from a process stability and productivity perspective.
- Extensive analysis on the use of different machining strategies for smaller / larger blisk geometries.
