Effect of ultrasonic surface rolling processing on surface integrity and mechanical properties of ZL205A alloy by Hui-Hu Lu, Jian-Shan Han, Guang Li, Yi-Dong Zhang, Ling-Yun Du, Yan-Lan Li, Da-Hui Chen

“…This study investigates the effects of ultrasonic surface rolling process (USRP) parameters—static pressure, feed speed, ultrasonic amplitude, and rolling passes—on the surface integrity, mechanical properties, and microstructural evolution of T6 heat-treated ZL205A Al–Cu alloy. Comprehensive characterization demonstrates that USRP treatment significantly enhances surface quality, producing an ultra-smooth surface with a minimum roughness (Ra) of 0.08 μm while simultaneously increasing surface microhardness to 168.10 HV and introducing compressive residual stresses of −128.3 MPa. …”
