An Evaluation Method Based on Grey Relational Grade for Cutting Tool Performance in the Milling of Titanium Aircraft Components

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cutting tools play an important role in the cutting process of titanium aircraft components, but it is difficult to comprehensively evaluate the cutting tool performance, so the selection of appropriate cutting tool becomes extremely important. In this paper, an evaluation method using grey relational analysis for cutting tool performance was proposed. Meanwhile, in this method, a test benchmark with some typical difficult-to-machined features extracted from titanium aircraft components was designed, and the processing route was developed. Grey comprehensive evaluation models of cutting tool performance were established for the rough and finish machining respectively. Finally, the grey comprehensive evaluation models were used to evaluate the cutting tool performance in the milling experiments of the benchmarks. The results show that the grey relational comprehensive evaluation method is convenient and effective to evaluate milling tools performance for titanium aircraft components.
