Quasi-synchronous Quenching Micro Distortion in ZL205A Aluminum Alloy Large Thin-wall Workpiece Based on Equal-Biot Number

Abstract

Abstract：The equal-Biot number model, on differential wall thickness and/ or differential wall structure workpieces heating or quenching zero distortion, proposed by the researchers for the worldwide problem on the distortion control of workpieces during hot processing. Overall heat transfer coefficient h is replaced by Biot number for the first time. Biot number is introduced into the temperature field equation, and the coupled model of dynamic temperature field and stress field which changes with Biot number is built. The temperature field and stress field in ZL205A aluminum alloy differential wall thickness workpiece is predicted by ABAQUS software.The simulation results indicate that the quenching distortion in ZL205A aluminum alloy workpiece stem from the difference in temperature between thick-wall parts and thin-wall parts. The ratio of thin-wall thickness to thick-wall thickness of this workpiece is one to four, the maximum difference in temperature is 276 ℃ between thin-wall keypoints and thick-wall keypoints, the maximum thermal stress is 84 MPa in thick-wall parts more than the yield strength of this alloy on the corresponding temperature, and then the radial distortion occurred, on the 0.37 s quenching time after solution 540 ℃. The equal-Biot number of the differential wall thickness is achieved by coating high heat conduction layers to thick-wall parts or low heat conduction layers to thin-wall parts. The distortion after 540 ℃ solution and quenching is predicted. The results indicate that the quenching distortion reducing 82.6 percent compared with the workpiece without coating layer. The quasi-synchronous quenching of differential wall thickness workpiece is achieved.Key words：ZL205A aluminum alloy；differential wall thickness workpiece；equal-Biot number；finite element simulation；micro distortion；quasi-synchronous quenching * 国家自然科学基金资助项目(U1537201)。20170715 收到初稿，20180111 收到修改稿

Improvement of the Mechanical Properties of 30CrNi2MoVA through Ultrasonic-Milling in Certain Key Components

“…Yan Mufu et al [8] proposed a method to realize the steel surface nanometer layer based on thermal diffusion technology, but the process of this method is complicated and time consuming. With the development of science and technology in recent years, ultrasonic technology has been introduced to improve the surface hardness of materials and reduce the machining roughness, such as ultrasonic rolling and ultrasonic strengthening [9,10]. Zhao Bo et al [11] studied ultrasonic rolling technology, which can make plastic deformation of the metal surface and refine the surface texture and improve the surface hardness and machining surface roughness.…”
