Abstract: | The effects of die heating and stress-relief temperatures in reducing residual stresses of squeeze-cast aluminum alloy rods
are experimentally determined by the longitudinal slitting method, and their reduction effects on the mechanical properties
of the squeeze-cast alloy rods are investigated. Stress relief is much more effective than die heating in reducing residual
stresses of the squeeze-cast alloy. Stress relief is substantially completed at 350 ° in 1 h, but at the expense of reduction
in strength and hardness. Appreciable reduction in strength and hardness is avoided by using a stress-relief temperature of
250 ° for residual stress reduction of squeeze-cast aluminum alloy. Die heating to a maximum of 200 ° is considered adequate
to substantially reduce the chilling effect of the metal mold on the solidifying molten metal and to avoid appreciable reduction
of strength and hardness resulting from die heating effects. |
