The simulation of a complete manufacturing process to produce an aero engine case, including forging, rolling, and machining processes, is analyzed via finite element software. The deformation of the turning and drilling processes is quantitatively studied using the energy principles. Firstly, simulations of multi-stage forging of aero engine case and machining-induced residual stress are conducted and verified via the residual stresses test in order to provide the initial elastic strain energy condition prior to machining processes. The effects of blank forging-induced residual stress and machining-induced residual stress on the deformation of titanium alloys aero engine case are investigated. Secondly, a potential energy expression for the machining processes is developed. The predicted results of turning and drilling simulations indicate that there is an optimal process in which the deformation and potential energy decline rapidly compared with the other processes and finally, gradually stabilize at the end of the process.
