Finite Element Simulation of Bending Thin-Walled Parts and Optimization of Cutting Parameters

Abstract

Aiming at the problems of large elastic deformation and low machining accuracy in cutting titanium alloy thin-walled parts, this paper establishes the finite element model of milling titanium alloy thin-walled parts, and simulates and analyses the milling process of titanium alloy thin-walled parts by the statics analysis module of ANSYS 15.0 software. The maximum deformation point of the workpiece in the milling process is determined. Then the combination of cutting parameters that can minimize the deformation is determined by the orthogonal experiments of four factors and four levels. This paper designs the single factor experiments, which study the distribution of the milling force and the deformation law of the parts in the milling process. Moreover, this paper carries out the optimal design of the cutting parameters by orthogonal experiments, which provides a reference for the selection of the cutting parameters for the bending thin-walled parts of titanium alloy.
