СпутникиРНSpaceXРоскосмосNASATo address the manufacturing challenges of high-volume fraction SiCp/Al composite laser communication load-bearing thin-walled shells in aerospace applications, particularly the high-reliability processing of threads below M4 specifications, this report proposes a systematic solution: By optimizing the machining process chain design, we focus on implementing micro-crack control (through combined low-temperature cryogenic treatment and high-temperature annealing stress relief techniques with ultrasonic testing and microscopic observation), precision clamping strategies, parameterized cutting parameter optimization, and differentiated thread processing techniques (direct tapping/steel wire thread inserts/brazed titanium columns adapted to diverse operating conditions). The methodology employs combined CMM and blue-light scanning for hole position verification, X-ray inspection for brazing quality verification, and robotic arm-integrated blue-light scanning system for comprehensive inspection of complex geometries. Through multi-dimensional process validation, the product machining quality fully meets engineering application requirements, establishing a replicable technical framework for precision machining of similar SiCp/Al composite materials, with significant engineering application value for industry promotion.
