Thermal-vibratory technique has been demonstrated to effectively and rapidly reduce
residual stress and improve mechanical properties of materials. But the underlying residual …

Residual stresses evidently affect the strength, fatigue property and machining deformation
of the mechanical components. Therefore, stress relief processes are extensively applied in …

Conventional thermal strengthening treatments face the challenges of high energy
consumption, environmental pollution, and low coordination between strength and …

The considerable uneven residual stress (RS) induced by the quenching process of
aluminum (Al) alloys causes dimensional instability and deformation. RS relief is essential to …

Over the last half century, vibratory stress relief (VSR) has come to be recognized as a
technique with several unique benefits, and it has found applications in various industries …

The mechanical behaviour during stress relaxation of metals has generated considerable
interest in the recent years owing to its contribution to ductility. Most of the past studies were …

The unloading process of hot-deformed aluminum alloys exhibits obvious strain rate-and
deformation temperature-dependent nonlinearity and the springback is generated by …

Herein, the effects of a very recently introduced novel thermomechanical process route on
the microstructural evolution and dynamic tensile deformation behavior of two different …

Unloading-reloading behavior is of crucial importance in multi-pass forming of metal
materials, the nonlinear of which creates challenges for the analysis of springback and …

Surface severe plastic deformation (SSPD) improves the mechanical behaviors of materials
by generating non-uniform, heterogeneous microstructures on their surfaces. SSPD …
