Abstract

Chatter has been playing an important role in the stability and quality assurance of milling processes. To effectively predict the stability of milling processes, in this paper, we investigate multiple milling parameters, including the spindle speed, axial milling depth, radial milling width, milling cutter radius, chip thickness, and feed rate. The influence mechanism of these parameters on milling stability is analyzed systematically. Based on the analysis results, three-dimensional (3D) stability lobe diagrams (SLDs) under multiple milling parameters can be obtained, which provide a theoretical basis of preventing and suppressing chatter. The effectiveness of the SLDs is verified by the actual milling experiment. Compared with the traditional two-dimensional SLDs, the proposed 3D SLDs with multiple parameters are more comprehensive, accurate and practical, which show important theoretical significance and engineering application value for the chatter stability prediction and control.
