In this paper, we present an experimental study on the surface frictional wear mechanism of the high-strength aluminum alloy after high-speed milling. We use a surface profilometer and an X-ray stress tester to characterize the milled surface integrity of the material, and UMT-3 friction testing machine to obtain its surface roughness, oxygen content, hardness, and wear morphology during different wear stages. The results show that milling-induced residual tensile stress makes the cut surface more prone to fatigue cracking and consequently abrasive wear in the initial wear stage. The larger the angle between the friction pair movement direction, the greater the chance of adhesive wear and abrasive wear. A complete friction stage pattern can be obtained at a high load (15 N) and a low sliding speed (0.6 mm/s). The friction pair enters a stable wear stage after 20 sliding cycles. Work hardening constitutes the main driver of stable wear.

In order to investigate the impact of cutting parameters on surface integrity when high-speed turning 58SiMn without cutting fluid, three-factor three-level orthogonal experiments and single factor experiments based on cutting speed and feed rate are employed, and an empirical model is established. The results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that feed rate is the dominant factor affecting the surface roughness. With the increase of cutting speed and feed rate, residual tensile stress on the surface becomes larger. Along the depth, micro hardness first decreases and then increases.

The level and distribution of residual stresses have great impact on dimensional stability, while Vibratory Stress Relief (VSR) is an effective technology to relax or homogenize residual stresses. Experimental study on residual stresses distribution, residual strain energy and machining deformation of 7075 high-strength aluminum alloy thick plate under different aging process status shows that VSR can effectively decrease the amplitude and strain energy density, and enhance stability of dislocation structures and phase states in metal microscopic volume, then internal residual stresses are homogenized to enhance components’ anti-deformation capacity. In addition, the capability in maintaining dimensional stability from VSR is better than that from traditional mechanical stretching process
