Description

Method for prolonging fatigue life of high-strength variable-cross-section transverse plate spring
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of steel materials, relates to a manufacturing method of a variable cross-section transverse plate spring, and particularly relates to a method for prolonging the fatigue life of a high-strength variable cross-section transverse plate spring.
Background
The transverse leaf spring is an important component of a suspension system for a vehicle such as a commercial vehicle. With the increasing demand for lighter weight of automobiles, the horizontal plate spring is developed toward a few leaf springs with high stress and variable cross sections. With the improvement of the load stress of the few-leaf spring in service, the problems of low fatigue life and large life fluctuation are gradually exposed. The higher the material strength, the greater the susceptibility of the fatigue life to defects, and slight fluctuations in the mass of the leaf spring can lead to a significant reduction in the fatigue life of the leaf spring. The 60Si2CrVAT is a typical mark of the prior high-strength variable-section less leaf spring, the tensile strength after heat treatment can reach 1800MPa, and the alternating load borne during service can reach more than 900 MPa.
Surface quality is an important factor affecting the fatigue life of leaf springs. Defects such as decarburization and microcrack on the stress surface of the plate spring tend to become a fatigue source, and the fatigue life is reduced. Shot blasting is a common method for improving the surface quality, and fine steel shots are used for blasting the surface of the plate spring at a high speed, so that the surface quality of the plate spring can be improved, the surface strength is improved, the surface is in a compressive stress state, and the fatigue life of the plate spring is prolonged. However, when the surface of the plate spring is uneven, the side walls of the dimples left after the steel shots hit the surface of the plate spring may be folded finely by the impact of the subsequent steel shots. Low tensile strength leaf springs are not sensitive to such micro-scale folding, but the fatigue life of high stress leaf springs may be significantly reduced upon such folding.
The variable cross-section transverse plate spring is made of flat steel produced by a steel mill through the processes of variable cross-section rolling, heat treatment, stress shot blasting, electrophoresis and the like. Due to the limitation of shape, the flat steel cannot be scalped before leaving the factory, and the surface has large height fluctuation. If the quality of the casting blank or the roller is not good, the surface defects of the flat steel are more. The deformation of each part of the billet is different during variable cross-section rolling, and the inconsistent deformation further increases the undulation degree of the surface of the plate spring. This becomes an important factor affecting the fatigue life stability of the high stress variable cross section plate spring.

Further, the present invention provides a method for improving the fatigue life of a high-strength variable cross-section transverse leaf spring, which may further have the following features: the high-strength variable cross-section plate spring comprises the following chemical components in percentage by mass: c: 0.56-0.64%, Si: 1.40-1.70%, Mn: 0.40-0.70%, S: < 0.03%, P: < 0.03%, Cr: 0.90-1.20%, V: 0.20 to 0.25%, Ni: < 0.30%, Cu: < 0.20%, the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities.
The processing method is designed for the high-strength variable cross-section plate spring. The strength of the stress surface of the common plate spring is improved after shot blasting or stress shot blasting, the common plate spring is in a compressive stress state, insensitive to tiny folding caused by shot blasting, and stable and high in fatigue life. And the high-stress plate spring is very sensitive to shot blasting folding due to high strength, strong crack sensitivity and large alternating stress in service. But it is very difficult to ensure the stress surface to be flat and free of defects before shot blasting. Firstly, the flat steel produced by a steel mill cannot be scalped, and the thickness of each position of a plate spring is different after the flat steel is rolled with a variable cross section, and the whole plate spring is arched, so that the stress surface can be processed only before the rolling with the variable cross section, but the traditional surface processing mode is very limited due to the shape limitation of the flat steel. The specific grinding and cold rolling of the invention can remove oxide skin with different thickness of the flat steel stress surface, so as to flatten the metal surface, and can also remove possible defects of micro cracks, micro folds and the like of the flat steel stress surface, thereby obviously reducing the probability of shot blasting folding and other surface defects and improving the fatigue life of the plate spring.
It should be noted that the method of the present invention places definite requirements on the polishing position and the polishing method. When in service, only one surface of the variable cross-section plate spring can bear large alternating tensile stress. Therefore, the side with better surface quality of the flat steel is selected for polishing, the workload is reduced, and the requirement for placing the flat steel in the subsequent variable cross-section rolling is provided. The stress surface is polished by a grinder for 1-3mm to remove oxide skin and possible defects, and meanwhile, the flatness of the polished surface is an important technical guarantee that micro-folding is not generated during shot blasting. After polishing, cold rolling can further improve the flatness of the stressed surface and remove polishing burrs, so that a small amount of un-peeled burrs are oxidized and peeled off during variable cross-section rolling and heating, and are not rolled into a plate spring to form folding.
Specifically, firstly, after the steel sheet is polished by a grinding machine, the surface flatness of the steel sheet is improved, and the defects of uneven oxide skin on the surface of the steel sheet, potential microcracks, folding and the like on the surface are overcome. But the grinder still produces a slight step at the seam, with the risk of forming a slight fold in the subsequent variable cross-section rolling. The cold rolling process is carried out, so that the steps can be flattened, and the possible micro folding at the edges of the steps can generate obvious work hardening and even fracture with the matrix, and further the steps are peeled off after rolling or oxidized and peeled off during variable cross-section rolling and heating. Secondly, the side of the flat steel is arc-shaped and cannot be polished. However, since the surface irregularities of the flat steel side surface are more pronounced and the irregularities are more pronounced as the flat steel side surface approaches the flat surface, severe undulations at the boundary between the arc edge and the stress surface or folds formed after shot blasting also become fatigue fracture source regions after the final plate spring is rolled. After the polishing and the cold rolling, the most severe shape sudden change at the junction of the flat steel can be removed or the rolling is gentle, so that the surface quality of the transition of the stress surface and the arc surface is obviously improved, the quality of the junction of the arc edge and the stress surface of the plate spring is further improved, and the fatigue life is prolonged.
In addition, the method of the invention puts clear requirements on the variable cross-section rolling, the heat treatment and the stress peening process. The variable cross-section rolling and quenching and tempering heat treatment process is to ensure the shape and basic mechanical property of the plate spring. Different from common variable cross-section rolling, the invention needs to roll the polished stress surface into a concave surface to ensure the polishing and cold rolling effect. The strength level of the plate spring is ensured by the limit of quenching and tempering temperature and cooling medium. The stress shot blasting process is to perform shot blasting on the plate spring under the condition of bearing tensile stress, after external stress is removed, the compressive stress and the pre-stress caused by the shot blasting on the stress surface are superposed to generate larger compressive stress, so that the difficulty of fatigue crack initiation in the service process of the stress surface is further improved, and the fatigue life of the plate spring is prolonged. The stress surface after polishing and cold rolling is smoother, the defects are fewer, and the probability of micro-folding generated during stress shot blasting is obviously reduced, so that the fatigue life and the fatigue life stability of the plate spring are obviously improved.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
the method improves the flatness of the stress surface of the plate spring before stress shot blasting through grinding and cold rolling, reduces the number of surface defects, improves the strength and the compressive stress of the stress surface after stress shot blasting, obviously reduces micro-folding caused by shot blasting, and finally obviously improves the fatigue life and the fatigue life stability of the plate spring;
the invention solves the problem that the flat steel produced by a steel mill cannot be scalped, and the surface of the plate spring cannot be polished in batch after variable cross-section rolling, so that the performance of the plate spring is influenced, and the surface quality and the service safety of the plate spring are improved on the basis of not greatly improving the cost.
