航空发动机广泛采用钛合金薄壁结构,薄壁件在铣削加工过程中受铣削力的影响易于产生加工变形,影响加工质量。为减少加工变形,提高加工质量,需对铣削加工过程中的铣削力进行预测。为此,以Johnson-Cook本构方程为基础,考虑材料热力学动态性能和断裂准则对铣削力的影响,建立了基于加工特征的钛合金Ti-6Al-4V铣削力预测模型。首先,利用UG/Open工具模块对UG软件进行二次开发,创建了零件加工特征知识库。然后,利用Deform-3D仿真软件对材料本构模型、切屑分离和切屑断裂准则等进行描述,建立钛合金Ti-6Al-4V铣削加工有限元模型,对铣削力进行预测。铣削力实验证明了预测模型的可行性。最后,利用建立的有限元模型研究了工件曲率半径对铣削力的影响。结果表明,圆弧内轮廓铣削过程中的铣削力较大,圆弧外轮廓铣削过程中的铣削力较小。
Thin-walled structures with titanium alloy are widely used in aircraft engine .However , deflection induced by cutting force will reduce the finished part accuracy due to the lower rigidy of thin-walled structure .The amount of cutting force must be accurately predicted to improve the machining precision of thin-walled parts.A numerical prediction model for milling force of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy is developed based on the Johnson-Cook constitutive equation ,UG geometric modeling and Deform-3D fi-nite element simulation .The effects of the material properties and fracture criterion on the milling force are considered during sim -ulation modeling.Firstly,the knowledge-base of features for aero-engine components is created by UG software .Then,the finite el-ement model of milling process is established by modeling the material constitutive relationship ,chip fracture and material separa-tion criteria.The machining experiments are conducted to validate the feasibility of the proposed sim
