Heat Transfer and Distortion in 7010 Forgings

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

The finite element code ABAQUS is used to simulate the quenching of blocks of aluminium alloy 7010 in an attempt to predict residual stresses and, hence, resultant distortion after slitting. The X-ray diffraction technique is used to measure residual stresses after heat treatment and a slitting technique is used to measure distortion. The effect of varying aged conditions (both dual age and retrogression and re-ageing treatments) on residual stress magnitude shows a marginal reduction.
