Volkswagen AG – Germany
Residual stress properties of heat-treated
aluminium alloy for high strength lightweight
automotive components
Some aluminium alloys require a heat-treatment step for the hardening process
Following heat-treatment, a high level of residual stress is produced which can decrease the lifetime of the component
Simulations have been made to predict the stresses and increase the reliability in the durability prediction
Measurements on on two different types of components from two different branches of VW were be performed by HZG at PETRA III (DESY) to validate the simulations.
