摘要
Residual stresses induced during quenching of aluminum alloys cause dimensional instability and distortion. In this study, the effects of different concentrations of polyalkylene glycol (PAG) quenchants on residual stresses and mechanical properties of 2024 aluminum alloy were investigated. Surface residual stresses were measured by using hole-drilling strain-gauge method. Also, mechanical properties and microstructure of the heat-treated samples were analyzed using hardness measurements, tensile tests, and transmission electron microscopy. Results showed that quenching into a 15% polymeric solution and aging at 190 A degrees C for 12 h cause 50% reduction in residual stress as compared with quenching in water at 20 A degrees C and naturally aging. Moreover, tensile strength decreased by 104 MPa (similar to 20%) in compared with the T6 sample.
