    Analysis of Residual Stresses in High Speed Milled Aluminum Alloys
    (2017-03-15) Vottero, S.; Díaz, F.V.; Mammana, C.A; Guidobono, A. P. M.
    The purpose of this study is to evaluate, from high speed machining tests, the behavior of the residual stresses induced in samples of AA 6082-T6 and AA 7075-T6 aluminum alloys. This study includes an exhaustive analysis of residual stress anisotropy from diameters of Mohr's circles. The combination of process parameters was modified in order to evaluate the stress changes introduced in different zones of the surfaces generated. A method of micro-indents, which includes the adaptation of a universal measuring machine, was used to determine, with high accuracy, the normal components of residual stress in several directions. The obtained results reveal that although, in the alloy 7075-T6, the normal components are lower, in the alloy 6082-T6, these normal components tend to be grouped into smaller intervals and also, to show a more homogeneous directional behavior when the cutting conditions are more severe.

    Determination and Analysis of Residual Stresses Induced by High Speed Milling Using a Micro-indent Method
    (2018-06-15) Vottero, S.; Mammana, C. A.; Guidobono, A. P. M.
    Abstract: The purpose of this work is to determine and analyze residual stress normal components and anisotropy degrees introduced by high-speed milling in specimens of AA 6082-T6 and AA 7075-T6 aluminum alloys. At each machined sample, the climb and conventional cutting zones were evaluated and compared. This paper includes a comprehensive study of thermal and mechanical effects associated with the residual stress introduction. For normal components determination, an optimized micro-indent method was used. Each measurement sequence from this approach was performed using a high accuracy measuring machine and classified according to thermal deviations measured. The residual displacements were determined with an absolute error down to ±300 nm. The normal components analysis allowed to infer the strong influence of the rolling process previous to high-speed milling and besides, the stress levels associated with thermal effects (higher in AA 7075-T6). Finally, the lower residual stress anisotropy degrees in both materials observed in the conventional cutting zone would indicate more homogenous local plastic stretching in this region for all planar directions.
