Effects of TVSR process on the dimensional stability and residual stress of 7075 aluminum alloy parts

Abstract

Abstract Residual stress generated during the blank forming and machining process significantly influences the dimensional stability of the mechanical parts. The equivalent bending stiffness and thermal vibration stress relief (TVSR) are two factors that affect the deformation of thin-walled workpiece. To increase the machining accuracy, on the one hand, increase the equivalent bending stiffness in manufacturing, and on the other hand, usually conduct the stress relief process to reduce the residual stress in manufacturing. In the present study, morphology optimization and TVSR process are conducted on a thin-walled part Specimen B of 7075 aluminum alloy to control the residual stress and machining deformation before finish machining. As a contrast, Specimen A is machined in one step. The deformations vary with time of Specimen A and B are measured. The corresponding finite element model is built to further study the stress and distortion during the machining process. Results showed that (1) deformation decreased with the increase of equivalent bending stiffness, compared with Specimen A, the maximum deformation of Specimen B decreased by 58.28%. (2) The final maximum deformation of Specimen B can be reduced by 38.33% by topology reinforcement to improve the equivalent stiffness and TVSR to reduce the residual stress.
