    摘要: The invention refers to development of chemical composition of perlite-class structural steels hardened by thermal treatment—through-surface hardening (TSH). The technical result is to obtain low and specified hardenability 3rd generation LH (SH) steels with a finer austenite grain ##11-13 GOST5639 (ASTM), even more stable preset hardenability (DI) with a substantially smaller To obtain a finer austenite grain and more stable hardenability—DI, with a substantially smaller deviation range and hardened layer depth directly obtained on parts subjected to TSH, as well as the possibility of machining thinner, smaller and other parts with the through-surface and through-thickness hardening. To achieve the technical result, structural steel was proposed for through-surface hardening with the following components ratio, weight %: carbon—0.15-1.2; manganese—not more than 1.8; silicon—not more than 1.8; chrome—not more than 1.8; nickel—not more than 1.8; molybdenum—not more than 0.5; tungsten—not more than 1.5; boron—not more than 0.007; copper—not more than 0.3; aluminum—0.03-0.1; nitrogen—not more than 0.1; titanium—not more than 0.4; vanadium,—not more than 0.4; zirconium—not more than 0.4; niobium—not more than 0.1; tantalum—not more than 0.1; calcium—not more than 0.03; sulphur—not more than 0.035; phosphorus—not more than 0.035; iron and unavoidable admixtures—rem., with ideal diameter determined by the following mathematical formula: Dkp.=K·√C·(1+4.1·Mn)·(1+0.65·Si)·(1+2.33·Cr)·(1+0.52·Ni)·(1+0.27·Cu)··(1+3.14·Mo)·(1+1.05·W)·[1+1.5(0.9−C)]·(1−0.45C′)·(1−0.3Ti)·(1−0.35V)·(1−0.25Al), Where: Dcr is the ideal diameter, mm, K is the coefficient whose value depends on the actual austenite grain size according to the ASTM, GOST5639; C, Mn, Si, Cr, Ni, Cu, Mo, W are components, weight %, contained in the austenite solid solution at the final heating temperature preceding hardening cooling, [1+1.5(0.9−C)] is the multiplier taken into account only if boron is present in steel in the amount of 0.002-0.007 weight %; C′, Ti, V, Al are components, weight %, not contained in the austenite solid solution, but present in the form of structurally-free secondary carbonitride phases at the final heating temperature preceding hardening cooling, C′ is carbon in the excessive cementite of hypereutectoid steel.

    摘要: Automotive leaf springs are produced from low-hardenability and specified hardenability steel, with identical and different length, width and thickness and constant or variable cross section profile, that are subjected to through-surface hardening and low tempering. The ideal critical diameter of hardening, carbon content and hardened layer depth depend on the thickness of constant cross section profile leaf and maximum and minimum thicknesses of variable cross section profile leafs. Adherence to the optimum correlations of parameters indicated make it possible to produce leaf springs with the best mechanical properties and longevity.
