Effect of Milling Speed and Feed on Surface Residual Stress of 7050-T7451 Aluminum Alloy

Abstract:

The residual stress in the milling of 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy was measured using X-ray diffraction method in which Psi-oscillation, Phi-oscillation and peak fit were adopted. Cutting speed and feed are main variables which were considered in this study. The results show that compressive residual stresses are generated in surface for the down milling generally, which is mainly due to burnishing effect between the tools flank face and the machined surface. In feed and its orthogonal direction, the effect of cutting speed and feed speed on residual stress is similar. Therefore, required residual stress can be achieved by controlling the cutting condition such as cutting speed, feed speed etc.
