Modelling and simulation of dynamic microstructure evolution of aluminium alloys during thermomechanically coupled extrusion process

The present review paper would celebrate the 25 years anniversary of the ESAFORM association by summarizing the studies performed by the delegates of the ESAFORM conference series within mini-symposium “Extrusion and Drawing” and of the papers published in the International Journal of Material Forming in the same fields. The 160 analyzed papers have been divided in four main categories corresponding to the paper main chapters (Hot Metal Extrusion, Cold Metal Extrusion, Polymer Extrusion and Drawing) then further divided in sub-chapters in order to group them in more specific research subjects. The aim of this review paper is then to provide to the reader a complete overview of the investigated topics and of the research trends over the years within the ESAFORM associate researchers.

In this study, a novel approach for residual stress (RS) distribution on forged AA7175 is considered to replace and simplify the manufacturing process, based on the lean manufacturing concept. AA7175 alloy is a quench-sensitive material applied in the aeronautics industry, which is subjected to vibration and cyclic loads leading to fatigue failure. Generally, costly postprocessing operations, such as shot peening, are used to modify RS on the surfaces of parts. Considering the fact that this operation is usually performed manually and is costly, the industrial sectors have been searching for an alternative to simplify the process. Here, quenching and T74 aging are found to advantageously modify RS distribution by forming compressive RS on parts’ surface layers. The proposed heat treatment allows for the removal of the shot-peening process, helping to reduce the costs associated with the manufacturing process and to increase production quality.
