Analysis of Quenching and Stretching Processes of Aluminum Alloy Thick Plates

Article Preview

Abstract:

7050 aluminum alloy thick plates are usually heat treated and then aged to improve mechanical properties; however, residual stresses in the plates are developed during quenching. In this study, the influences of non-uniform factors on residual stresses in aluminum alloy thick plates during the quenching and stretching processes are studied. The results show strong inhomogeneity of the residual stress distribution in the plates, and the length of influenced area of the stretched plate is discussed.
