Study of Influence of Heat Treatment on the Quenching Residual Stress, Hardness, Tensile Properties, and Microstructure of Mg-Gd-Y-Zr-Ag Alloy Conical Parts
摘要
This study investigates the quenching-induced residual stress (RS) in Mg-Gd-Y-Zr-Ag alloy conical components generated during manufacturing. To mitigate the detrimental effects of high RS levels, a dual approach combining finite element simulations and experimental validation was employed to optimize heat treatment parameters. The research further systematically examines the interdependencies between RS reduction, microstructural evolution, and mechanical property changes, including hardness and tensile characteristics. The results show that: the RS reduction rate of the cone by 200-250 °C heat treatment was 30.98-64.95%, which was almost linear with temperature. The investigated heat treatment methods exhibited negligible influence on grain size evolution. However, peak aging at 250 °C induced significant coarsening and coalescence of β and
