Secondary cold extrusion strengthening of press-fit bushing
was performed on the 7050 aluminum alloy lug hole, and its residual
stress and microhardness were analyzed. The effects of secondary cold
extrusion strengthening of press-fit bushing on the residual stress and
microhardness of the lug hole were studied through X-ray
diffractometer(XRD) and microhardness tester. The results indicate that
the secondary cold extrusion of press-fit bushing causes a residual
compressive stress layer along the radial direction of the hole wall. As
the relative extrusion amount increases, the peak residual compressive
stress and the depth of the stress layer also increase. When the
relative extrusion amount is
, the maximum residual compressive stress can reach
, forming a residual compressive stress layer of about
. Under the same relative extrusion amount, the residual compressive
stress at the outlet end of the codirectional secondary cold extrusion
sample is bigger than that at the inlet end, while the residual
compressive stress at the two ends of the reverse secondary cold
extrusion sample is basically the same. When the relative extrusion
amount is
, a microstructure hardening layer of about
is formed along the radial direction of the hole wall, with a maximum hardness increase of
. After the secondary cold extrusion strengthening of press-fit bushing,
a residual compressive stress layer and a microstructure hardening layer
are formed along the radial direction of the hole wall, thereby
improving the surface performance of the lug hole.
