Abstract:
A terminal sealed portion is formed on an end portion of a hollow rod made of steel. An enclosed space is formed on an inner side of the hollow rod. At an end of the enclosed space, a terminal gap is formed. A volatile powdered rust inhibitor is supplied in the enclosed space. As the volatile powdered rust inhibitor is vaporized, the enclosed space is turned into a rust-inhibiting atmosphere. As the vaporized component of the volatile powdered rust inhibitor is adsorbed to an inner surface of the enclosed space, an inner surface rust-inhibiting film is formed. The vaporized component also enters inside the terminal gap, and forms a terminal rust-inhibiting film.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a hollow stabilizer includes a forming step of subjecting an element pipe to a bending process, to form a product shape including bent portions, and a quenching step of quenching the element pipe subjected to the bending process. In the quenching step, a cooling process is performed by immersing the element pipe made of steel in coolant and by spraying the coolant to an outer surface of the bent portion.
Abstract:
A hollow stabilizer having an excellent fatigue property and higher strength compared to the conventional ones has a chemical composition containing 0.26% to 0.30% of C, 0.05% to 0.35% of Si, 0.5% to 1.0% of Mn, 0.05% to 1.0% of Cr, 0.005% to 0.05% of Ti, 0.0005% to 0.005% of B, and 0.0005% to 0.005% of Ca, wherein; Al, P, S, N, and O are limited to 0.08% or less, 0.05% or less, less than 0.0030%, 0.006% or less, and 0.004% or less, respectively, a remainder of the chemical composition consists of Fe and unavoidable impurities, a value of a product of the Mn content and the S content is 0.0025 or less, and a critical cooling rate Vc90 represented by a predetermined equation is 40° C./s or less; and wherein a metallic structure comprises a tempered martensite, a length of elongated MnS present at a center part in a thickness direction of the hollow stabilizer is 150 μm or less, a HRC is from 40 to 50, a thickness to outer diameter ratio is 0.14 or more, and a depth of a decarburized layer at an inner surface part is 20 μm or less from the inner surface; and a steel pipe for hollow stabilizers used as a material for the hollow stabilizer.
Abstract:
A hollow stabilizer has a tubular shape and is provided with a torsion section that is provided to a vehicle and that extends in the vehicle width direction; an arm section that extends in the front-back direction of the vehicle; and bent sections that connect the torsion section and the arm section. The hardness of the outer surface of the bent inner sides of the bent sections of the hollow stabilizer is 70% or more with respect to the hardness of the outer surface of the arm section.

Abstract:
Provided are a method for manufacturing a stabilizer and a heating device, the method being able to suppress the occurrence of unevenness in the hardness of a curved portion of a semimanufactured product of the stabilizer and reduce the process time in a tempering process. In electric heating in a first heating step (step A), the temperature of an inside portion of a shoulder can be steeply increased to a temperature (
