Problems solved by technology

[0003] When forming, during the solidification and cooling process of aluminum alloy thin flat castings, due to the different temperatures and cooling rates of various parts, the shrinkage of the castings at the same time is different. Stress is generated due to constraints; when the casting is demoulded and cooled to room temperature, thermal stress is generated due to the resistance of linear shrinkage, resulting in residual stress inside the casting. When the residual stress exceeds the yield strength of the material, residual deformation will occur. Thermal stress is the cause The main factor of residual deformation of castings; residual deformation will change the original design size of aluminum alloy thin plate castings, lose the original precision, and also affect the appearance of the product, especially in mass production, castings with residual deformation will be mechanically processed form waste

[0004] At present, the residual deformation of aluminum alloy thin flat castings is mostly corrected by hand, which is labor-intensive, low in production efficiency, and the correction force is not easy to control, which may easily cause the casting to be scrapped; some use mechanical correction to put the casting into a heated mold. Relying on the mold to apply anti-deformation to the casting to eliminate residual deformation, this method can only correct the deformation of four sides, and the correction effect on bending deformation, wave deformation, and twisting deformation is not good, and the production efficiency is low; the residual deformation is corrected manually and mechanically. It is only mandatory to temporarily eliminate the residual deformation. There is still residual stress inside the casting. After the casting is placed for a period of time or in the subsequent processing process, the residual deformation will gradually rebound.
