Abstract

Aerospace flight panels must provide high strength with low mass. For aluminum panels, it is common practice to begin with a wrought plate and remove the majority of the material to attain the desired structure, comprising a thinner plate with the desired pattern of reinforcement ribs. As an alternative, this study implements hybrid manufacturing, where aluminum is first deposited on a baseplate only at the rib locations using additive friction stir deposition (AFSD). Structured light scanning is then used to measure the printed geometry. This geometry is finally used as the stock model for computer numerical control (CNC) machining. This paper details the hybrid manufacturing process that consists of: AFSD to print the preform, structured light scanning to generate the stock model and tool path, three-axis CNC machining, and post-process measurements for part geometry and microstructure.
