The use of thin-walled milling in the technological production processes of aviation structural elements

Abstract

The use of HSM technology in the technological processes of milling and machining elements of aircraft structures made from (among other materials) aluminum alloys makes possible the production of elements with complex shapes, appropriate levels of precision workmanship, as well as surface roughness and waviness. The efficiency of the machining process is also a crucial factor, allowing it to compete with other manufacturing technologies. The achievement of these effects consists of many factors related to the machining process: machine tools and their rigidity, machining parameters, type of processed materials, as well as machining tools. The requirements for the tools used are related to the workpiece material and its specific properties, as well as the extreme machining conditions used (especially cutting speed vc and efficiency of the cutting process).
