Hot Deformation Behavior of High-Strength 7075 Aluminum Alloy for Drive Shaft of Heavy Truck and Its Microstructure Evolution in Radial Forging
The hot deformation behavior of high-strength 7075 aluminum alloy
adopted for lightweight drive shafts of heavy trucks
during the radial forging process is investigated through isothermal compression tests at different deformation conditions. The test samples are collected from an extrusion shaft billet with a large diameter that is fully preheated. A modified Hansel-Spittel constitutive model of 7075 aluminum alloy
which takes into account the effects of t
emperature and strain rate on strain hardening and strain softening
is proposed to predict the hot forming process of drive shafts with a large diameter. The processing maps of 7075 aluminum alloy are established based on the dynamic material model
and microstructure evolution of the shaft billet of 7075 aluminum alloy during a typical radial forging process is analyzed with the processing maps. The research results indicate that the modified Hansel-Spittel model can accurately predict the peak flow stress and steady flow stress of preheated 7075 aluminum alloy
with an average absolute relative error of 2.71% between the experimental data and the predicted data. The processing maps show that 7075 aluminum alloy has high thermal stability in the temperature range of 350 to 450 ℃ and strain rate range of 0.01 to 10 s
-1
and high temperature and low strain rate will benefit the microstructure evolution of 7075 aluminum alloy during the hot forming process. After a typical radial forging process that perform a cross-section contraction of 55.6% and a heat treatment of T6
the original elongated grains of the shaft billet recrystallize and transform into fine grains with large angle boundary
which respectively increase the tensile strength and the elongation rate of 7075 aluminum alloy to 651 MPa and 12.5%. The drive shaft manufactured from the operated shaft billet can have excellent comprehensive properties.
