Abstract: | The longitudinal slitting technique has been applied to determining and comparing the residual stresses in as-cast and squeeze-cast aluminum rods. Residual stresses in the squeeze-cast aluminum alloy rods are found to increase with applied punch pressures under a constant die-base thermocouple reference temperature. For the variations of residual stresses with varying die-base thermocouple reference temperatures, a peak residual stress is found to occur at a die-base thermocouple reference temperature of 100° C. A semi-empirical formula is derived for the determination of the maximum longitudinal residual stress in the tapered cylindrical as-cast aluminum alloy, from which the maximum longitudinal residual stresses for squeeze cast can be determined, using the residual-stress ratios obtained experimentally |
