Simulation study on residual stress and fatigue life of the 7050 lug holes after cold extrusion strengthening
Based on the fact that the quality of cold extrusion strengthening is closely related to the selection of process parameters
this study investigates the effects of different process parameters on the residual stress and fatigue life of 7050 aluminum alloy lug holes after cold extrusion strengthening.
Methods
2
Firstly
the distribution and variation of residual stress in 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy lug holes with PH13-8Mo pressed-in bushings after cold extrusion strengthening were explored by using the finite element method. The validity of the established finite element model was confirmed through energy methods and pull-out force tests. Subsequently
the influence patterns of different process parameters on the fatigue life of lug holes were explored based on the finite element fatigue analysis software FE-Safe. Finally
fatigue tests were conducted to verify the reliability of the simulation model and results.
Results
2
The results indicate that both excessively large and small fillet radii of the mandrel transition are detrimental to improving the fatigue life of the lug holes. When the fillet radius of the mandrel transition is approximately 2 mm
the fatigue life of the lug holes is maximized. With the increase of the bushing reaming allowance
the fatigue life of the lug holes first increases and then decreases
reaching the longest fatigue life at a reaming allowance of about 0.8 mm. Additionally
the larger the installation clearance between the hole and the bushing
the shorter the fatigue life of the lug holes.
