摘要:
A manufacturing method of a coil spring for an automobile suspension includes forming a material into a coil shape; performing a heat treatment step on the material; performing a warm shot peening step on the material, and performing a hot setting step on the material. By performing the warm shot peening step prior to the hot setting step, a stronger compressive residual stress is imparted in a direction along which a large tensile stress acts during actual use of the coil spring, thereby improving sag resistance and durability of the coil spring. A coil spring is also manufactured according to this method.

摘要:
A spring is provided having a high durability in actual use and sagging resistance of the same level as or higher than conventional ones through improvement of the corrosion fatigue resistance. The spring uses as a material a steel including C: 0.35-0.55%, Si: 1.60-3.00%, Mn: 0.20-1.50%, S: 0.010% or less, Ni: 0.40-3.00%, Cr: 0.10-1.50%, N: 0.010-0.025%, V: 0.05-0.50% and Fe balance. The steel is heat treated to have a hardness of 50.5-55.0 HCC and shot-peened at a moderate temperature to render a residual stress of −600 MPa or more at a depth of 0.2 mm below the surface. The temperature at which the spring is shot-peened is preferably 100-300° C., and the hardness of shot particles for the shot-peening is preferably 450-600 Hv.
摘要:
The present invention intends to provide a method for manufacturing a high-strength spring, which is capable of generating a higher level of compressive residual stress than that given by conventional methods. This object is achieved as follows: After the final heating process, such as the tempering (in the case of a heat-treated spring) or removing-strain annealing (in the case of a cold-formed spring), a shot peening process is performed on the spring while the surface temperature of the spring is within the range from 265 to 340° C. (preferably from 300 to 340° C.). Subsequently, the spring is rapidly cooled. Preferably, a prestressing process is performed before the shot peening process, or after the shot peening process and before the rapid cooling process. The rapid cooling process may be either a water-cooling process or an oil-cooling process. A forced-air cooling process may be used if the wire diameter of the spring is small.
