Abstract
A method for manufacturing a thin-walled part having curved surfaces, in particular a turbine blade by a machine tool comprising roughing process and semi-finishing process. At least one of the roughing process and the semi-finishing process is accomplished by flank milling.
Claims6
A method for manufacturing a turbine blade using a cutting tool, the turbine blade includes a platform, the method comprising:
- characterizing the cutting tool to obtain characteristic data of the cutting tool;
- selecting an operation mode based on the obtained characteristic data;
- selecting a process damping mode as the operation mode, in the process damping mode the turbine blade is machined at a low spindle speed and high depth of cut, and the platform undergoes a roughing process;
- inputting the characteristic data of the cutting tool into a simulation tool to determine the machining parameters applied to machine the turbine blade;
- and
- machining the turbine blade with the roughing process and a semi-finishing process, wherein at least one of the roughing process and the semi-finishing process is accomplished by flank milling.
