Abstrakt: Thin-walled components have extensive usage in the aviation, aerospace, automotive, and energy sectors. Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) additive technology is a technology that is used to produce thin-walled components by adding layers by layers. MIG/MAG welding technology is used in WAAM. The milling of thin-walled components often results in chatter, which causes waves on the milled surfaces. The variable helix angle reduces chatter during milling. The study found that a constant helix angle of 30°-30°-30° caused the active part of the wall to deflect towards the cutting tool, resulting in the least desirable outcomes. In contrast, cutting tools with 30°-30°-25° and 30°-30°- 35° helix angles produced comparable results with minor surface waves. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
