Abstract
The deformation of thin-walled parts based on the lightweight Mg–Li alloy materials caused by machining-induced stress is an important factor hindering the further development of lightweight in the aerospace field. Prediction of the machining-induced residual stress is the key to understand the deformation and derive low-stress machining scheme. In this study, the equivalent cutting deformation loads were applied to substitute the strongly coupled thermal-mechanical behavior between the tool and part to realize the prediction of the machining-induced stress and deformation of thin-walled rib-web part under different milling conditions. The local regular and complex rib-web parts share a same deformation mode, both behave as in-plane bending deformation of the machined surface. The low-stress milling scheme of up milling combined with cryogenic cooling obtained based on the local regular four rid-web thin-walled part was applicable to the prediction of the complex Mg-Li alloy disk rib-web part. Compared with the initial scheme, the maximum stress and deformation displacement based on the low-stress scheme were reduced from 80 to 36 MPa and from 0.04060 to 0.00814 mm, respectively. Finally, the effectiveness of low-stress milling scheme were verified based on the milling and measurement experiments of the complex thin-walled disk rib-web part. These results indicate the effectiveness of the modeling method for thin-walled rib-web parts and prove the results obtained based on the local model can be extended and applied to large complex parts with the same structural type.
