である。[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention allows the large end to be split into two parts at each of the left and right split parts by the expansion force of the splitting tool inserted into the bearing hole of the big end.
In a connecting rod for an internal combustion engine that is broken into parts, a high-hardness part is formed by carburizing and quenching at the part scheduled to break in each of the left and right divided parts, and the high hardness part is formed at least on the inner peripheral side of the large end of the part scheduled to break. A low hardness portion surrounded by a hardness portion is formed, and the low hardness portion is formed to occupy a larger area on the inner peripheral side of the big end than on the outer peripheral side of the big end.
なお、本発明は上記低硬度部が破断予定部分の
少なくとも大端内周側にあればよく、この低硬度
部が大端外周側に全くないものをも含む。 In addition, in the present invention, it is sufficient that the low hardness portion is located at least on the inner circumferential side of the large end of the portion to be broken, and also includes a structure in which the low hardness portion is not present on the outer circumferential side of the large end at all.

対して明瞭な凹凸部が形成される。 In the present invention, when a splitting tool is inserted into the bearing hole of the large end in which the high hardness part and the low hardness part are formed, and the large end is split by the expansion force of the splitting tool, the high hardness part and the low hardness part are separated. The crack propagation speed and direction differ depending on the hardness difference. In other words, a crack that progresses through a high-hardness area branches before the low-hardness area, leaves a relatively soft low-hardness area, and advances through the surrounding high-hardness area, and the low-hardness area is torn off. The cracked surface is clearly uneven in the direction of splitting.

凹凸部を安定して形成できる。 In addition, the above-mentioned fracture surface starts from the inner circumference of the big end,
It develops toward the outer periphery of the large end and finally completes the fracture, but due to the characteristics of fracture, the fracture occurs stably on the starting point side, but becomes unstable in the latter half, especially near the end of the fracture. In the worst case, a defective part such as a chip may occur near the end point of the fracture. However, according to the present invention, the above-mentioned breakage as if the low-hardness portion is torn off occurs mainly on the inner peripheral side of the large end on the breakage initiation side, so that the above-mentioned uneven portion can be stably formed.

なる。 The connecting rod 11 in which the bearing hole 13 and the bolt hole 14 are bored in the large end portion 12 as described above is then carburized and quenched under predetermined carburizing conditions. As a result of this carburizing and quenching, as shown in FIG. and a low hardness portion 17 surrounded by a high hardness portion 16,
A hardness distribution consisting of 18 is formed. here,
The low hardness portion 17 on the inner circumference side of the big end has a larger wall thickness formed on the inner circumference side of the big end, so it has a larger area than the low hardness portion 18 on the outer circumference side of the big end. There is. The size of the regions of the low hardness parts 17 and 18 relative to the total area of the fracture surface can be varied by adjusting carburizing conditions such as carburizing time, temperature, and carbon concentration.

By inserting collars A and 19B (dividing tools) and driving a wedge 20 between the two dividing collars 19A and 19B (dividing tools), the large end portion 12 is divided into a main body portion 12A and a cap portion 12B. At this time, on the fracture surface generated in each divided portion 15, the crack propagation speed and direction differ depending on the difference in hardness of each portion, so as shown in FIG.
The crack that propagates inside branches out before the low hardness parts 17 and 18, leaves the relatively soft low hardness parts 17 and 18, and progresses inside the surrounding high hardness part 16 to form the low hardness part 17. , 18 are torn off and cracked, and the fractured surface has a clear unevenness in the direction of division. (In Fig. 5, the low hardness part 17
is a convex portion, but in the corresponding divided cutaway diagram, the low hardness portion 17 is a concave portion. ) Furthermore, the fracture surface formed at the large end 12 of the connecting rod 11 starts from the inner periphery of the large end, develops toward the outer periphery of the large end, and finally ends; however, due to the characteristics of the rupture, The point side breaks stably, but it becomes unstable in the latter half, especially near the end of the break. In the worst case, a defective fracture portion such as a chip may occur near the fracture end point. However, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the low hardness portion formed in the portion to be broken occupies a larger area (the area of the low hardness portion 17) on the inner peripheral side of the big end. Therefore, since the above-mentioned breaking of the low-hardness parts 17 and 18 as if being torn off occurs mainly in the low-hardness part 17 of the inner peripheral part of the large end on the breakage initiation side, the above-mentioned irregularities are stabilized on the fracture surface. It can be formed by

It is automatically aligned by the clear unevenness formed in the parts, and it becomes possible to reproduce the same integrated state as before the division, and it becomes possible to easily reassemble with high reassembly accuracy.
