Roughing
One piece 500 kilograms heavy 7075-T651 aluminum ingot place at work table on. Machine tool two sides hydraulic clip use 12 megapascals strength take it dead dead bite hold. Two pieces diameter 250 millimeters big cutter head slow slow lean pass go. Master take operate panel on spindle rotate button directly twist to 100%.
Cutter head turn speed fix at every minute 850 revolutions, two sides together toward inside fierce cut 7.5 millimeters. Two machines motor fire power all open, consume electricity power rate one down soar to 45 kilowatts. Surface that layer 2 millimeters thick black skin is instant tear open. Cut down come's aluminum slag like down violent rain same smash at iron skin cover on.
Machine on install is APMT1604 model number blade, hard quality alloy material. Blade bring big incline angle, hard born born take aluminum block one layer one layer shovel down come. Every head on dense dense numb numb install 16 handles tools, cut run up come line speed every minute exceed 650 meters.
Sweep one eye ground on aluminum slag, old hand light look outside shape just can touch clear blade now state condition:
· Short broken C shape slag: cut get deep, row get smooth happy
· Fine long roll slag: walk tool too slow, easy wrap hold tool handle
· Emit light silver color slag: cold water pour get arrive position, no dry burn
· Change yellow bring scorch mark slag: tool point grind flat, temperature cross 150 degrees
Just down tool that while, machine tool will emit out 60 hertz low frequency hum hum sound. 8 tons heavy cast iron bottom seat rely dead heavy weight take this strand shock move dead dead press hold. Master force direct take every piece tooth feed give amount pull high to 0.25 millimeters. Machine run get more fast, heat amount just more come not in time transmit give big piece aluminum material.
About 80% heat amount all is this kind short broken slag roll walk. Aluminum block surface temperature only will raise to 45 degrees to 55 degrees. Walk tool speed if is slow than every minute 1200 millimeters, heat amount all stuffy in aluminum block inside. 7075 this kind aviation aluminum only need exceed 80 degrees, just will bulge out 0.15 millimeters shape change.
Machine tool big water pump every minute spray out 30 liters cut liquid. Mix 6% concentration water cold liquid one meal fierce wash, take stuck at cutter head on broken slag all wash drop. Water pressure must enough big, avoid exempt scatter drop slag child roll enter tool inside is secondary roll press. Only need roll enter go, hardness 150HB broken slag will at face on scratch out deep pit.
Two sides each cut drop 8 millimeters after, aluminum block inside original receive force flat balance just is thoroughly strike break. One piece 1 meter long, 50 centimeters wide board, just cut finish two ends just will toward up curl up 0.4 millimeters. Use clip can take it force direct press flat, one loosen tie immediately again bend return go.
· Motor load exceed 85% easy trigger hold back stop
· Silk rod receive force big cross 2000 Newtons will squeeze out 0.02 millimeters gap
· Water pressure not reach 2 kilograms root basic wash not walk iron chips
· Guide rail on run smooth oil film press too fierce will break crack
Take caliper one measure, away from drawing on dimensions single side much leave 1.2 millimeters. Just open finish rough surface all is deep deep tool grain, roughness at Ra6.3 to 12.5 between. Use hand touch one hold, with touch file same prick flesh.
Bring this 1.2 millimeters surplus amount and one belly inside stress aluminum block, will be push to side edge shelf on air cool. Make airplane parts, rough blank must natural put on 48 hours. Some factories use zero down 80 degrees liquid nitrogen freeze, reverse return fold toss two three times, this 0.4 millimeters curl bend just calculate thoroughly disappear stop.
16 pieces blades gnaw down 300 kilograms aluminum slag after, tool mouth will be grind flat 0.08 millimeters. Hard cut down go, block power will change big 30%. Machine tool on current meter from 45 amperes one road toward up climb, exceed 55 amperes factory inside rule must change one whole plate new tools.
Change new blades before, master holding tools one by one match exact down face these physical data:
· Up screw force moment stuck dead at 2.5 Newton meters
· Cutter head jump move error use meter measure, not exceed 0.015 millimeters
· Hydraulic clip pressure re new tune return 10 megapascals
· Cut liquid concentration meter steady at 6Brix
Water drop slow slow control dry, transmit send belt take one ground aluminum slag pour enter big iron box. Machine tool spindle brake stop, wait next one piece 500 kilograms rough blank hang up come. Heaven crane big hook slow slow drop down, electron scale on red words jump to 512 kilograms. Worker pat open green color start move key, cut continue.
Finishing
Air cool whole whole 48 hours aluminum block re new hang back double face milling machine work table. Infrared measure temperature meter hit at metal surface, screen show 22.5 degrees, with workshop inside constant temperature air condition set determine one mold exactly same. This time aluminum block inside part stress run a clean, original 0.4 millimeters curl bend amount dead dead fix live no longer return bounce.
Up one single leave down 1.2 millimeters surplus amount, now need divide two times slow slow scrape drop. Hydraulic clamp bite close force from 12 megapascals one breath qi drop arrived 3.5 megapascals. Clamp get too tight will take aluminum block strangle out micro meter level shape change, one loosen open fixture original flat level surface immediately bend out one 0.05 millimeters arc degree.
Master take two sides rough mill cutter head all tear drop down come, change on special use cut aluminum PCD poly crystal diamond blade. This material hardness reach HV6000, surface throw light arrived mirror face level, bring one 20 degree big incline angle. Touch one down tool blade, compare new buy shave beard blade still must thin, still must scrape hand.
Operate panel on parameters all push turn re new set. Spindle turn speed from 850 revolutions directly soar to 2800 revolutions every minute. Eat tool amount shrink decrease get extremely small, single side only remain down pity pity 0.5 millimeters. Take so big one machine 8 tons heavy machine cut this point thickness, exactly compare take one handle fine detail surgery knife at metal surface light light scrape one layer skin.
High turn speed match on extremely small cut amount, motor load meter on current drop arrived 15 amperes out head. Walk tool speed drop to every minute 400 millimeters, machine gone before low frequency boom hum, only remain down sharp point "hiss hiss" sound. Every piece tool tooth gnaw down come thickness not reach 0.08 millimeters, equal to ordinary print paper thickness half.
This kind run method cut out come broken slag no longer is block shape, but is like hair thread same fine soft aluminum silk. Water pump pressure is tune arrived highest gear 6 kilograms, every minute spray out 50 liters liquid. Large amount water cold liquid spray at turn move cutter head on, directly at secret close machine cabin inside smash out one big piece white color water fog.
Aluminum this kind material special sticky, temperature slightly up go to 60 degrees, that layer not reach 0.08 millimeters hair silk just will stick at tool mouth on. Emulsify liquid concentration is precision dense optics sugar degree meter measure determine at 8Brix. At every minute 2800 revolutions high speed run turn under, this can at tool and aluminum face between paste on one layer 0.2 micrometers thick run smooth oil film.
Happen stick tool, light clean aluminum face on just will be plow out one strip 0.1 millimeters deep ditch. Report waste one whole piece 500 kilograms aviation aluminum ingot, material lose fail move directly exceed one ten thousand five thousand bucks money.

First tool walk finish, original rough rough prick hand black face became float bright silver color mirror face. Take surface roughness meter touch needle paste up go scratch one tool, screen on read number steady steady stop at Ra0.8. Use finger belly light light along grain path touch pass go, feel follow touch one piece throw light good marble table face same slippery slip.
Machine stop steady, quality inspector holding one handle half meter long vernier caliper stuck live two ends. Drawing require final width is 498.00 millimeters. First time measure amount read number is 498.25 millimeters. Caliper on much out come this 0.25 millimeters, use come give final one tool slow slow grind final extreme thickness.
Measure finish dimensions still must measure temperature, surface temperature drop return 22.5 degrees just can continue cut. 1 meter long aluminum block only need temperature raise high 1 degree, length just will expand expand 0.023 millimeters. Even if only is hand at top face press half minute, human body transmit pass go heat amount all will let hundred fraction meter pointer jump move one grid.
Re new step down step board, two sides cutter head again times press up go, take this final 0.25 millimeters eat dry wipe clean. This return's walk tool speed is dead dead press at every minute 250 millimeters. Two handles cutter head slow get like snail crawl, foot foot consume 40 minutes just walk finish this 1000 millimeters long cut cut distance.
Unload carry parts even walk vehicle all dare not use fierce force, lift heavy hang belt change became wide body soft cloth material. 500 kilograms square block flat put at 200 millimeters thick granite constant temperature flat table on, begin measure calculate final geometry shape position tolerance.
· Diagonal line measure amount error is limit control at 0.05 millimeters inside
· Two ends thickness use thousand fraction ruler stuck dead, difference value cannot cross 0.015 millimeters
· Surface plane level degree take feeler gauge lean at knife mouth ruler under, 0.01 millimeters thin sheet stuff not enter go
· Four side faces perpendicularity use marble angle ruler lean, reveal not out one thread hand electric tube light
This 0.015 millimeters difference not much only have hair thread five fraction one coarse fine. Reach not arrived this number, make airplane install match parts time screw hole just thoroughly match not accurate. Quality inspector pinch feeler gauge reverse turn confirm three passes, at list on sign on words, paste on one sheet green color fit standard bar code.
Cutter head on PCD blade extremely endure grind, connect cut 50 single sides just will have 0.01 millimeters pour angle grind wear. Machine tool X axis roll pillar straight line guide rail continuous experience high precision degree micro tune friction, every run full 200 hours just must force direct hit enter 40 grams Shell run smooth yellow oil.
Work table on every one root hair thread same aluminum chips all is suck dust machine clear reason clean clean, water trough inside filter net also change one sheet new. Next one piece air cool whole whole two days half finished product is shovel vehicle push over come. Hydraulic clamp again times use 3.5 megapascals strength bite up go, screen on infrared temperature still old stuck at 22.5 degrees.
