Influence of Quenchant Factors on Residual Stresses in Quenched 7075 Aluminium-alloy Thick Plate

摘要

With the aim of reducing residual stresses and distortion in the precipitation-hardening cycle, the effect of concentration and bath temperature of polymer and emulsion quenchants has been investigated in a comparison with water quenching of thick 7075 aluminium-alloy plate.
