Abstract The authors examine the influence of high-speed milling on the distribution of residual stresses in parts made of structural high-strength aluminum alloys Al-Cu-Mg, which are the main structural materials in the aerospace industry. Milling was carried out at high cutting speeds. Different tool settings were used to balance the instrument. Plastic deformation occurred in the part’s surface layers. Residual stresses were measured by the X-ray method. It was found that high-speed milling creates residual compressive stresses that are favorable for the operation of the part. The depth of the residual stresses depends on the cutting mode. The article shows the relationship between residual stresses and the type of metalworking tool, processing conditions in structural parts made of high-strength aluminum alloys.

Data Reduction Method

During a recent study the residual strain/stress states through the walls of autofrettaged thick-walled high-strength steel cylinders were measured with neutron diffraction, Sachs boring and the compliance methods (Venter et al., 2000, J. Strain Anal. Eng. Des., 35, pp. 459–469). The Sachs boring method was developed prior to the advent of high speed computers. A new method for the data reduction was proposed. In order to verify the proposed procedure, the Sachs boring experimental method was simulated using finite element modeling. A residual stress field was introduced in the finite element method by elasto-plastic finite element analysis. The physical process of material removal by means of boring was simulated by step-by-step removal of elements from the finite element mesh. Both the traditional and newly proposed data reduction methods were used to calculate the residual stresses. The new data reduction method compares favorably with the traditional method.

High Strength Aluminum Alloys

The mechanism of the residual stress relaxation during the fatigue life of shot peened high-strength aluminum alloys was investigated. Experiments were conducted on specimens subjected to three different shot peening treatments and tested under reverse bending fatigue. x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements were carried out to determine the initial and stabilized residual stress fields. The residual stress field created by the surface treatments has been introduced into a finite element (FE) model by means of a fictitious temperature distribution. The elastic-plastic response of the superficial layers affected by the shot peening treatments has been derived through reverse strain axial testing combined with microhardness tests and implemented in the FE model. The proposed numerical/experimental approach is able to satisfactorily predict the residual stress field evolution. Notably, relaxation has been correctly simulated in the low-cycle fatigue regime and imputed to plastic flow in compression when the superposition of compressive residual and bending stresses exceeds the local cyclic yield strength of the material. Conversely, the residual stress field remains stable at load levels corresponding to the 5×106 cycles fatigue endurance.

In the present investigation, the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process was employed to form aluminum oxide coating layers to enhance corrosion resistance properties of high-strength aluminum alloys. The formed protective coating layers were examined by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and characterized by several electrochemical techniques, including open circuit potential (OCP), linear potentiodynamic polarization (LP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results were reported in comparison with the bare 6061-O aluminum alloy to determine the corrosion performance of the coated 6061-O alloy. The PEO-treated aluminum alloy showed substantially higher corrosion resistance in comparison with the untreated substrate material. A relationship was found between the coating formation stage, process parameters and the thickness of the oxide-formed layers, which has a measurable influence on enhancing corrosion resistance properties. This study demonstrates promising results of utilizing PEO process to enhance corrosion resistance properties of high-strength aluminum alloys and could be recommended as a method used in industrial applications.

High Strength Aluminum Alloys

Abstract Aluminum alloys are attractive for a number of applications due to their high specific strength, and developing new compositions is a major goal in the structural materials community. Here, we investigate the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy system (7xxx series) by machine learning-based composition and process optimization. The discovered optimized alloy is compositionally lean with a high ultimate tensile strength of 952 MPa and 6.3% elongation following a cost-effective processing route. We find that the Al8Cu4Y phase in wrought 7xxx-T6 alloys exists in the form of a nanoscale network structure along sub-grain boundaries besides the common irregular-shaped particles. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of using machine learning to search for 7xxx alloys with good mechanical performance.

An experimental study was conducted to determine cutting parameters of high-speed milling of Ti-17 according to their effects on residual stresses. First, three groups of single factor experiments were carried out to reveal the effects of cutting parameters on residual stresses. Then sensitivity models were established to evaluate the influence degrees of cutting parameters on residual stresses. After that, three criteria were proposed to determine cutting parameters from experimental parameter ranges. In the experiments, the cutting parameter ranges are recommended as [371.8, 406.8] m/min, [0.363, 0.412] mm and [0, 0.018] mm/z for cutting speed, cutting depth and feed per tooth, respectively.
