6、t;　　本論文描述了關(guān)于高速銑削有薄壁彈性框架的鋁合金結(jié)構(gòu)件的方法研究。框體腹板是在端銑刀的面產(chǎn)生的薄壁結(jié)構(gòu),就像相對(duì)的側(cè)壁是在端銑刀的外圍產(chǎn)生的薄壁結(jié)構(gòu)。為了生產(chǎn)更強(qiáng)的，更輕的，更便宜的零部件，高速加工實(shí)體工件中帶有薄壁腹板和側(cè)壁的零件的方法正在迅速取代原來的裝配工序。原來被用做裝配的薄壁部分零配件的部件現(xiàn)在可以使用高速加工而做成更廉價(jià)，且功能相等的整體結(jié)構(gòu)。整體結(jié)構(gòu)可以更強(qiáng)，更輕, 比與他們同等功能的裝配更精確。由于列入清單的零配件

7、的減少，以及零配件裝配工序的去除和鉆模，夾具，檢查樣板等后續(xù)裝配時(shí)間的減少（盡可能的高精度），整體零配件就會(huì)比金屬片組合更便宜。市場(chǎng)的競(jìng)爭也需要高速加工技術(shù)和高的金屬去除率。</p><p>　　高速加工薄壁零配件被廣泛使用的一個(gè)主要限制就是加工操作的安全性。顯而易見的是，當(dāng)側(cè)壁和腹板變得越來越薄時(shí)，剛性將會(huì)減少，而且顫動(dòng)也會(huì)變得更棘手。在這些部件加工中的顫動(dòng)能對(duì)零件造成毀壞 (特別是切斷薄壁結(jié)構(gòu)) 或者至少對(duì)需

8、要手動(dòng)清理的表面質(zhì)量造成損傷。這篇論文就是描述依托于不加工件來進(jìn)行薄壁腹板加工的策略的發(fā)展。</p><p><b>　　前期工作</b></p><p>　　在薄壁加工中涉及的問題已經(jīng)被 Tlusty ，Smith和 Winfough 所描述[1]，</p><p>　　正如 Fig.1 所示，,他們指出在一系列的軸向路徑中薄壁應(yīng)該用怎樣的刀

9、具來加工,刀桿的上面部分較下面更細(xì)。這樣，加工只在側(cè)壁剛性最好的下面進(jìn)行,而上面易曲部分就不會(huì)有在側(cè)壁和刀具刃口之間的無端接觸。一些其他的作者已經(jīng)研究了加工腹板中的問題。Kline[2]用有限元分析方法模擬了薄板和梁的端銑,但卻靜態(tài)地考慮了問題,Altints[3]為易曲板的外圍銑削呈現(xiàn)了一個(gè)動(dòng)態(tài)模型結(jié)構(gòu)，但是他的實(shí)驗(yàn)被很小的主軸速度范圍所限制。Rao[4]指出支撐薄框架的加工是相對(duì)簡單的。一個(gè)支撐的薄框架直接對(duì)著工作臺(tái)或一個(gè)夾具。一個(gè)

10、這樣的腹板在遠(yuǎn)離刀尖方向是非常堅(jiān)硬的。腹板也由于一個(gè)流體薄膜(典型如油)的流體靜力學(xué)作用而不會(huì)碰到刀尖部分。另外，本報(bào)告還研究了無支撐薄腹板在加工中遇到的問題。Fairman[5] 設(shè)計(jì)了一個(gè)更加任意的測(cè)試零件進(jìn)行了一系列的加工測(cè)試。他通過主軸速度、刀具、軸向切深和徑向切深的組合變化進(jìn)行切削試驗(yàn), 但卻沒能成功加工出一個(gè)無顫動(dòng)零件。就像下面的內(nèi)容所描述的,后來的研究表明了他的測(cè)試零件比目標(biāo)產(chǎn)品的薄壁結(jié)構(gòu)更易曲。</p>&

21、徑3 毫米的刀具來加工進(jìn)一個(gè)光滑內(nèi)圓。為了使角半徑刀具避免顫動(dòng)，主軸速度范圍被設(shè)定得足夠小來利用阻尼進(jìn)程的優(yōu)勢(shì)。Tlusty[6]表示，當(dāng)振動(dòng)的波長短于3毫米時(shí)，阻尼進(jìn)程就會(huì)變得活躍。產(chǎn)生的主軸速度是1629轉(zhuǎn)/分。產(chǎn)生的角半徑是無顫動(dòng)的, 而且還有完美的表面質(zhì)量。</p><p>　　以不切削工件作支撐來加工的技術(shù)也可能被應(yīng)用到其他不同的位置，一個(gè)略微不同的腹板設(shè)計(jì)被第七個(gè)測(cè)試零件用到。這是一個(gè)設(shè)計(jì)有1毫米厚鑄

22、造壁的雙面腹板，面積191毫米 *191毫米, 類似于沒有側(cè)壁的整體測(cè)試零件，腹板被附近的一個(gè)0.5毫米厚的鑄造壁所支撐，測(cè)試零件以15,000個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)/分的主軸速度加工，用刀具直徑12.7 毫米，角半徑3毫米的端銑刀完成加工。在加工完測(cè)試零件第一面之后，第二面從一個(gè)腹板開始切出槽孔直到最終的腹板厚度如Fig10 (a)所示，另外的四個(gè)斜坡從第一個(gè)小角度腹板開始被切出來，如Fig 10(b)所示，接下來，腹板通過同心直徑切削繼續(xù)加工。加工這
