Aeronautical structures are typically made of complex thin-walled parts of lightweight alloys. These parts are obtained from rolled or forged preforms by machining. Factors such as the residual stresses, the machining fixture and the material removal strategy play an essential roll on the final distortion induced on these low-rigidity parts. A finite element analysis to estimate the effects of the residual stresses and the material removal strategy on part deflections is provided in the present paper. A real aeronautical part of 7050-T7451 aluminium alloy is studied. Different relative positions of the workpiece within the preform thickness are explored in order to minimize the final deflections of the part. Numerical simulations are successfully validated with experimental results.
