Abstract

Accuracy of machined components is one of the most critical considerations for any manufacturer. These challenges include the introduction of complex geometry and difficult to machine alloys. Monolithic parts are utilized in the aerospace industry to reduce stresses, prolong service life, and reduce weight. The fabrication of parts with these features is associated with high cost, induced by higher machining time and material cost, as compared to aluminum or hardened steel. In a competitive industrial environment the production cost must be reduced. This can be achieved through the reduction of the number of manufacturing processes; the complex part geometries require the use of sophisticated computer aided manufacturing (CAM) tools. This report investigates the machining performance using the step strategy for machining complex 30 surface. Four different step strategies namely parallel, scallop/constant stepover, contour and pencil are investigate by evaluating their machining performance on machining the complex 30 surface made of aluminum alloy.
