AbstractImpellers are widely used in the aerospace, shipbuilding, nuclear power and other industries. The design of its blades usually involves fluid dynamics and other subjects. Thin-walled impellers are typically hard to machine due to complex shapes, the difficult – to – machine materials and other characteristics. CNC machining is widely used in inte- gral impeller machining, thanks to its high milling flexibility and precision.This thesis focuses on improving the processing quality of a impeller ( Maximum blade thickness 6.5mm, Max overhang 110mm). We investigate its machining process, and proposed a rough - semifinish - finish mixed tool path planning strategy. The main con- tents included :Firstly, the traditional machining process of integral impeller made of aluminium is introduced, and then the problems of the traditional processe are analysised, such as under cut resulted from weak regidity. Then we stratify the allowances during semifinish and finishing after rough process, which minimized the under cut problem and improve the finish quality of the impeller. But the experimental tests show that there will be slight cut- ter marks at the junction of layers because of the different stiffness of each layer.Secondly, this thesis adopts the FEM to quantify the influence of number of stratified layers and the allowance of semifinish on the cutter marks, and finally a mixed rough-semifinish- finish process is proposed. The mixed propose works in the following sequence: rough machining of slotting which leaves 2-3millimeter allowances, then the three mixed layer machining policy is adopted in place of the traditional one cutting finish policy. The effect of proposed mixed cutting policy is validated. The cutter marks caused by stratified layers are eliminated for the sake of improved cutter relieving condition, which achieved good result in practical machining application of integral impeller.Finally, several cutting experiments are conducted and compari
