摘要

This study investigated the quenching-induced residual stress (RS) in the large cuboid Mg-Gd-Y-Zr-Ag alloy forging generated during manufacturing. To mitigate the detrimental effects of high RS levels, cold pressing (CP) was employed under various compression ratios. The research further systematically examined the interdependencies between RS reduction, hardness change and microstructural evolution. The results show that the RS transitioned sharply within 100 ~ 200 mm from the edge of the forging, while the directional RS was ranged from − 40 to − 65 MPa at the stress platform in the central region. It was optimal to apply a CP ratio of 1% to reduce RS, and the reduction ratio of RS on the surface layer was 77.30 ~ 97.33%. Reducing the RS by CP had barely an effect on the grain size of the forging, only the \(\beta^{\prime }\) β precipitated phase during aging changed from dense and uniform distribution to uniform chain distribution, thus slightly increasing the hardness after aging.
