Abstract:
A shot peening device (50) includes a turntable (79) which rotates about a revolution axis (X1), holding mechanism (81, 82) which moves with the turntable (79), pressure mechanism (93) which compresses a coil spring (1), rotation mechanism (100) which rotates the coil spring (1), projection mechanism (57) which projects shots to the compressed coil spring (1), load cell (96, 97) which detects a load applied to the coil spring (1), and controller (98). A signal output from the load cell (96, 97) is input to the controller (98), and the controller (98) detects a chronological change of the load applied to the coil spring (1) during the shot peening.
Abstract:
A compressive residual stress portion (50) having a compressive residual stress from a surface of a wire (40) to a first depth (D1) is formed between end turn portions (12a, 12b) of a coil spring (12). The end turn portion (12a) includes a first portion (12a 1 ), a second portion (12a 2 ), and a third portion (12a 3 ). The first portion (12a 1 ) is always in contact with a spring seat irrespective of a load applied to the coil spring (12). The second portion (12a 2 ) contacts the spring seat when the load applied to the coil spring (12) is large, and is separated from the spring seat when the load is small. The third portion (12a 3 ) is always separated from the spring seat irrespective of the magnitude of the load. In the end turn portion (12a), in a region including the second portion (12a 2 ), a deep residual stress portion (51) is formed by ultrasonic shot peening. The deep residual stress portion (51) has a compressive residual stress from a surface of the wire (40) to a second depth (D2) deeper than the first depth (D1).
