There is a kind of large thin-walled parts in aerospace industry, the machining target surface of which is tightly associated with another specific surface (named correlative surface). And it is always the primary machining objective. However, the preformed correlative surface is significantly different from its original design model due to large profile and thickness errors. Thus, part-referenced machining is necessary to ensure the correlative constraint accuracy. In this article, an integration strategy of OMM and NC machining for the large thin-walled parts with surface correlative constraint is systematically developed. Generally, the integration process consists of correlative constraint analysis, on-machine measurement, machining target surface redesign, and NC machining. Firstly, an isoplanar-based on-machine scanning method is presented for large surface profile information extraction. Then, a unified target surface redesign model is established according to surfaces accompanying relation analysis. Further, to compensate stress-induced monotonic structural deformation, a partitioned measuring and machining approach has been employed. Finally, the liquid rocket engine nozzle as a typical part was employed to verify the validation of the proposed strategy. Coolant channel machining experiments were conducted on a special dual-spindle machine tools. For a nozzle with machining area about 8 m 2 , the correlative accuracy could be controlled in the range of ±0.1 mm. It has been proved that incorporating dimensional metrology feedback to machining process could consistently improve machining quality and efficiency of large thin-walled parts.
Microstructures and mechanical properties of Mg-Ge binary alloys (G1, 0?5 wt-%; G2, 1?0 wt-%; G3, 1?5 wt-%; G4, 2?0 wt-%; G5, 2?5 wt-% and G6, 3?5 wt-%) were investigated. The results show that the microstructures of Mg-Ge binary alloys consist of two components: a-Mg dendrites and rod eutectic of (a-MgzMg 2 Ge) in which the rod shaped precipitates are the intermetallic compound Mg 2 Ge phase with the orientation relationship 3 1 0The grain size of a-Mg dendrites is refined effectively in alloys. The solidification behaviour of Mg-Ge binary alloys is analysed. The tensile tests indicated that the ultimate tensile strengths of Mg-Ge binary alloys are enhanced while the elongations are reduced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
