Deformation Mechanism and Characteristics of Thin-Walled Component in Aluminum Alloy

Abstract

During milling of thin-walled components, obtaining minimum distortion is essential in order to achieve production goals. In this study, a mechanical model based on deformation machanism is established, and is help to analyse relationship between residual stress and deformation in component. Researched on simulation and experiment, the stress-deformation characteristics of different component shape is obtained. The results indicate that the deformation of thin-walled component in milling primarily depends on the distribution of initial residual stress, which can generate bending moment and lead to distortion. And then milling stress on the surface is easy to make bending moment baesd on this distortion, and make the deformation of component intensify.
