Stability Assessment in Milling Aircraft Engine Components.

The analysis focuses on how the physical parameters of the attachment–workpiece and tool–chuck systems affect the stability when milling aviation materials that are hard to machine. Methods of stabilizing the milling process in terms of vibration are outlined, as well as means of increasing the productivity without damage to the equipment. Examples are given of stable and unstable machining of titanium alloy by end mills and its influence on the cutting process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
