Definitions
- the present invention relates to a steel wire and a spring having excellent fatigue characteristics and a method for producing the same.
- Known spring steel wires include C: 0.6 to 0.8, S i: 0.15 to 0.35, and Mn: 0.3 to 0.9 mass%.
- the steel wire for this spring is subjected to the following steps: rolling patenting (hardening-constant transformation)-wire drawing-(coiling: when subjected to spring processing) ⁇ strain relief annealing (300 ⁇ 30 ° C) Manufactured through
- the above steel wires for springs are not sufficient in both heat resistance and fatigue strength.
- the heat resistance is improved by increasing the Si content in the case of parallel wires and other steel wires.
- the aim of heat resistance is various, and the heat resistance of the barrel wire is essentially that the change in TS after molten zinc plating (450 ° C X 30 seconds) is small. It is aim.
- the sag in the temperature range of 100 to 200 ° C is small, and the steel wire also has fatigue characteristics. That is. For this reason, simply applying the chemical composition of the parallel wire to the spring has not provided sufficient properties as a spring material.
- a main object of the present invention is to provide a steel wire and a spring which are not subjected to quenching and tempering, that is, are excellent in heat resistance and fatigue strength obtained by wire drawing, and a method for producing them. Disclosure of the invention
- the steel wire of the present invention is a steel wire having a mass structure of C: 0.8-: L.0, Si: 0.8-: 1.5, and has a solid structure.
- the average of the hardness from the surface to 100 nm is higher than the average of the hardness inside by 50 or more micro Vickers hardness.
- Such a wire has high heat resistance and fatigue strength and is ideal for spring wire.
- it is preferable that the average of the internal hardness is 500 or more in terms of Vickers hardness at the microphone opening, and the difference in hardness between the brackets is 150 or more.
- Mo may be further added to this steel wire in an amount of 0.3 to 0.1 mass%.
- Mn 0.3 to 0.9 mass%
- Cr 0.2 mass % or less. May be contained.
- the tensile strength of this steel wire is preferably at least 190 N / mm2 in order to obtain sufficient fatigue strength. Furthermore, it is desirable that the compressive residual stress on the surface be 30 O MPa or more.
- the method for producing a steel wire of the present invention comprises the steps of sieving a steel wire having a pearlite structure containing C: 0.8 to 1.0 and Si: 0.8 to 1.5 in ma SS %. From 350 to 450 ° C after wire drawing It is characterized by performing dulling and then performing shot peening. According to this manufacturing method, the steel wire of the present invention can be manufactured without performing quenching and tempering treatments, and a steel wire having both heat resistance and fatigue strength at low cost can be manufactured.
- coiling may be performed between wire drawing and strain relief annealing. It is also preferable to perform a nitriding treatment after the strain relief annealing. Further, it is preferable to perform a secondary strain relief annealing at about 250 ° C. after the shot pinning or the nitriding treatment and the shot pinning.
- the lower limit was determined from the viewpoint of fatigue strength, and the upper limit was determined from the viewpoint of drawability.
- Si An element necessary for improving heat resistance. If it is less than the lower limit, sufficient heat resistance cannot be obtained, and if it is more than the upper limit, the surface of the steel wire is likely to be scratched.
- Mn added for improving hardenability. If it exceeds the upper limit, segregation tends to increase, resulting in poor drawability.
- the purpose is to remove the low hardness layer on the steel wire surface. Fatigue characteristics are improved by removing a layer whose hardness is 50 or more micropickers harder than the hardness inside the steel wire.
- ⁇ Strain relief annealing> This is performed at 350 to 450 ° C to improve the fatigue characteristics of the spring. Annealing at this temperature sufficiently removes the strain caused by drawing and coiling. Even if the strain relief annealing is performed at such a high temperature, the strength of the steel wire does not decrease because of the addition of Si. If it is less than the lower limit, the effect of improving the fatigue properties is small, and if it exceeds the upper limit, the strength and fatigue strength of the wire also decrease.
- the annealing time is preferably about 20 minutes in terms of effect and productivity.
- the fatigue strength of spring steel wire requires high hardness of the wire surface and large compressive stress. Since the strain is sufficiently removed by the strain relief annealing, the residual stress of compression can be easily imparted by shot binning, and a steel wire and a spring having excellent fatigue characteristics can be manufactured.

Good results were obtained when the strain relief annealing temperature was 350 to 450 ° C. Next, the sectional hardness distribution of these three types of steel wires was measured. Note that the strain relief annealing temperature of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 which were the targets of hardness measurement was 400. C, the annealing temperature of Comparative Example 2 is 300 ° C. Figure 2 shows the results.
- the hardness of the surface portion of Comparative Example 1 not subjected to the shot peening is decreased, but the hardness of the surface portion of the Example 1 and the Comparative Example 2 of the shot peening are reduced. Is getting higher.
- the hardness of Example 1 is generally higher than that of Comparative Example 2.
