Considering the deficiency in milling process parameters selection, based on the modelling of dynamic milling force and the deduction of chatter stability limits, the chatter stability lobes simulation program for milling is developed with MAT- LAB. The simulation optimization application software of dynamics was designed using engineering simulation software Visio Basic. The chatter stability lobes for milling, which can be used as an instruction guide for the selection of process parameters, are simulated with frequency response functions （FRFs） gained by hammer test. The validation and accuracy of the simulation algorithm are verified by experiments. The simulation method has been used in a factory with an excellent application effect.
