Welding residual stress is a critical factor contributing to the deformation of spacecraft cabin bodies during CNC machining. To mitigate such machining deformation, this paper conducts simulation and experimental studies on ultrasonic vibration-based stress regulation of electron beam welds in 5B70 aluminum alloy cabin bodies. This reveals the influence of the law of amplitude and treatment times on weld residual stress. A stress regulation process scheme for 45 mm thick plate butt welds is proposed: An ultrasonic amplitude of 30 μm, with two repeated treatments on the front side of the weld. After stress regulation, the peak values of transverse residual stress σx and longitudinal residual stress σy on the back surface of the weld are reduced by 33.94% and 67.05%, respectively. And the corresponding homogenization rates are 22.22% and 22.37%, respectively. Milling tests show that the machining deformation of the stress-regulated specimens in the Z-direction is reduced by 64.48%, which validating the efficacy of ultrasonic vibration-based regulation of welding residual stress in reducing cabin body machining deformation.
