Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for shot peening. Specifically, it relates to a method for shot-peening a steel.
- the stress shot peening can be used for a part, like a spring that can be stressed while shot-peening it, there have been problems in that stress shot peening cannot be used for a part like a gear that cannot be stressed while shot-peening it.
- US 4,415,378 discloses a method for work hardening the surface of a carburised steel part, whereby an amount of 10-30% residual austenite in the case layer is transformed to at least 5-20% of untempered martensite, to induce compressive residual stresses.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method for shot peening for producing maximum compressive residual stresses that exceed 60% of the yield strength at 0.2% offset by controlling the properties of the material or the conditions for the heat treatment of the processed steel and the conditions for shot peening, without using the stress shot peening.
- the method for shot peening of the first aspect of the present invention is to produce a compressive residual stress in a processed steel that has an amount of retained austenite in a range of 5 to 30%, by peening shot media onto the processed steel.
- the amount of retained austenite is controlled to keep the change in the amount within a range of 2 to 30% before and after the shot peening.
- the shot peening is controlled to keep the change in the amount of retained austenite at the depth where the maximum compressive residual stress is generated at a range of 2 to 30% before and after the shot peening.
- the processed steel is a gas carburized steel.
- a maximum compressive residual stress can be obtained that exceeds 60% of the yield strength at 0.2% offset.
- no jig for stressing the processed steel for the shot peening is required.
- efficient shot peening can be used for a part such as a gear that has a complicated shape.
- the method for shot peening of the first aspect can always be performed.
- a processed steel that has a desired amount of retained austenite can be easily obtained by changing carburizing.
- Fig. 1 is a table showing the properties of the processed steels that were used in the embodiments of the present invention.
- Steel-A to Steel-G are prepared as the processed steels.
- the carbon contents (wt %), the conditions for heat treatment, and the yield strengths at 0.2% offset (MPa), as properties of the materials, and the tensile strengths (MPa), the hardness at the surfaces (HV0.3), and the amount of retained austenite ⁇ (Gamma) R (%), are all shown in the table.
- the processed steels are prepared from the steels that are based on a chromium steel or a chromium-molybdenum steel and that have different carbon contents, i.e., between 0.2 and 0.8 wt%, and the steels that are based on a chromium-molybdenum steel that have a carbon content of 0.8 wt%, and that are tempered in different conditions.
- These processed steels are gas carburized steels.
- Fig. 2 is a table showing the conditions of the shot peening that were used in the embodiments of the present invention.
- Two types of conditions for shot peening (the conditions for peening shot media onto the processed steels) were used.
- a compressive-air shot peening system was used in both types.
- the hardness (HV), the diameters (mm), and the air pressure for peening shot media are all shown in the table.
- the coverage which represents the amount of shot media being peened, was 300% in all cases.
- Fig. 3 is a table showing the properties of the processed steels after the shot peening. The table also shows the properties before the shot peening. It shows the properties of Steel-A to Steel-G in the upper and lower sides for two respective types of conditions for shot peening.
- That table shows the maximum compressive residual stress ⁇ (Sigma) R (MPa), Gamma R at the peak depth (%), Sigma R (max)/ Sigma 0.2 , and the rate of change in Gamma R at the peak depth (%), as the properties of the processed steels after shot peening.
- the maximum compressive residual stress Sigma R means the maximum value of the compressive residual stresses that are measured at various depths from the surface (since a compressive residual stress is generally expressed as a negative value, it is the maximum value in absolute values).
- the compressive residual stresses were measured by using a micro-stress analyzer that is available from Rigaku Corporation (X-ray tube: Cr-K ⁇ ( Alpha ); diffractive surface: (220); stress constant: -318 MPa/deg; Bragg angle of the strain-free 2 ⁇ : 156.4 °).
- the Gamma R at the peak depth (%) denotes the amount of retained austenite at the depth where the maximum compressive residual stress is generated.
- the amounts of retained austenite were also measured by using a micro-stress analyzer that is available from Rigaku Corporation (X-ray tube: Cr-K Alpha ; diffractive surface: (220); Gamma-diffraction plane: (311); time for measuring on Alpha-plane: 60 sec; range of diffraction on Alpha-plane: 156.4 °).
- the Sigma R (max)/ Sigma 0.2 denotes the maximum compressive residual stress compared to the yield strength at 0.2% offset.
- the rate of change in Gamma R at the peak depth (%) denotes a rate of change in the amount of retained austenite before and after the shot peening at the depth where the maximum compressive residual stress is generated.
- Fig. 4 shows supplemental data for Fig. 3 .
- the processed steels that have the maximum compressive residual stress that exceeds 60% of yield strength at 0.2% offset can be obtained by the following process, i.e., peening shot media onto a processed steel that has the amount of retained austenite in a range between 5 to 30%.
- the rate of change (reduction) in the amount of retained austenite at the depth where the maximum compressive residual stress is generated is controlled to be in a range between 2 to 30%.
- the threshold value of the amount of retained austenite i.e., 5 to 30%, is determined based on the maximum value in the range that is representative for industrial materials.
- the upper limit for the rate of change in the amount of retained austenite i.e., 30%, is specified based on the maximum value of the amount of retained austenite.
- the lower limit for the rate of change in the amount of retained austenite i.e., 2%, is determined by plotting the Sigma R (max)/ Sigma 0.2 in relation to the rate of change in Gamma R at the peak depth (%) and drawing an approximate curve by the least square method.
- the rate of change (reduction) in the amount of retained austenite of the processed steel at the depth where the maximum compressive residual stress is generated is controlled to be in a range between 2 to 30%, the maximum compressive residual stress becomes over 60% of the yield strength at 0.2% offset. This is because the retained austenite expands by the deformation-induced martensitic transformation and thus the mechanical properties improve by the expansion of the retained austenite.
- processed steels that have the amount of retained austenite in a range between 5 to 30% are subject to shot peening.
- the change in the amount of retained austenite before and after shot peening is controlled to be in a range of 2 to 30%, so as to produce the compressive residual stress in the processed steel.
- a maximum compressive residual stress that exceeds 60% of the yield strength at 0.2% offset can be produced. Therefore, no jig for stressing the processed steel for the stress shot peening is required. Further, a part such as a gear, which has a complicated shape, can be efficiently shot-peened.
- the processed material is a gas carburized steel
- a processed steel that has a desired amount of retained austenite can be easily obtained by adjusting the conditions for carburizing.
- Any steels can be used for the processed steels, but a gas carburized steel that has a large amount of retained austenite is preferable.
