Effects of Mechanical Vibration on Double Curvature Creep Aging Forming of 2124 Aluminum Alloy

Abstract:

This Paper studied the precipitation behaviour and creep deformation of 2124 aluminum alloy based on the concept of complex field. A mechanical vibration field was introduced into the creep aging forming process of 2124 aluminum alloy, and its effects on creep deformation, precipitations behaviour and mechanical properties under the condition of double curvature loading and aging temperature were investigated by three-dimensional scanning technique, TEM and tensile test, respectively. The results showed that the spring back value along the rolling and transverse direction presented after creep aging forming were reduced by 25% and 15% respectively. The volume fraction of precipitates increased and distributed more densely and uniformly. Meanwhile, the yield stress improved by 15MPa and the degree of anisotropy decreased by 17% with mechanical vibration field applied to the manufacturing process.
