Evaluation of Distortion and Residual Stresses Caused by Heat Treatment of Cast Aluminum Alloy Components

The objective of this research was to develop and verify a mathematical model that enables the prediction of the effects of heat treatment on cast aluminum alloy components. The model, which uses the commercially available software (ABAQUS), predicts dimensional changes, distortion, and residual str...
