Abstract:
Prediction and control of machining distortion is a primary concern when manufacturing monolithic components due to the high scrap and rework costs involved. Bulk residual stresses, which vary from blank to blank, are a major factor of machining distortion. Thus, a bulk stress characterization is essential to reduce manufacturing costs linked to machining distortion. This paper proposes a method for bulk stress characterization on aluminium machining blanks, suitable for industrial application given its low requirements on equipment, labour expertise, and computation time. The method couples the effects of bulk residual stresses, machining stresses resulting from cutting loads on the surface and raw geometry of the blanks, and presents no size limitations. Experimental results confirm the capability of the proposed method to measure bulk residual stresses effectively and its practicality for industrial implementation.
