A New Path of Quench-Induced Residual Stress Control in Thick 7050 Aluminum Alloy Plates

The high magnitude of quench-induced residual stress in thick aluminum plates is attributed not only to high thermal stress but also to high yield strength due to quench-induced precipitation hardening. To date, lowering the thermal stress is the only path to reduce the residual stress in the design...
