The invention relates to the technical field of aluminum
alloy forging, in particular to a
forging process capable of reducing reverse
forging coarse grains of 6061 aluminum
alloy, which comprises the following steps: acquiring a 6061 aluminum
alloy ingot, homogenizing and annealing the 6061 aluminum alloy
ingot at 480-520 DEG C for 12-16 hours, cooling to
room temperature by water, performing ultrasonic flaw detection, performing turning surface treatment, and alternately forging and pressing in three directions, thereby obtaining the 6061 aluminum alloy. The method comprises the following steps: placing a fine-grain 6061 aluminum alloy
forge piece in a graded
heating furnace, completing sub-
dynamic recrystallization, applying directional
pressure stress of 50-80MPa to the 6061 aluminum alloy
forge piece, analyzing
grain boundary characteristic distribution by adopting an
electron back scattering
diffraction technology, and obtaining the
grain boundary optimized 6061 aluminum alloy
forge piece with a discontinuous coarse-
grain structure through
laser shock strengthening and
stress relief annealing. According to the method, the problems that reverse forging coarse grains are caused by uneven
strain distribution during forging and pressing, and fine grains and high-density nanoprecipitation cannot be effectively obtained and a
grain boundary structure cannot be optimized due to the fact that follow-up forging, heat treatment and stress
treatment parameters are difficult to accurately control can be solved.
