Abstract

The paper deals with the issue of chatter reduction by modification of both the cutting tool geometry and the machining strategy. Tool wear, cutting forces, surface roughness, and flatness of milled thin-walled parts produced by WAAM (Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing) technology are evaluated. The machining strategy and parameters of the cutting tool macrogeometry were designed on the basis of experimental machining. Due to the combination of custom geometry of the cutting tool and adapted machining strategy, it is possible to significantly reduce chatter during milling and thereby reduce the roughness of the machined surface, as well as improve machining precision. The experimental results contribute to the effort to expand the knowledge in the field of machining thin-walled parts.
