Problems solved by technology

Therefore, when the weakening resistance is low, there will be a problem that the weakening amount of the spring becomes large under a high stress load, and the restoring force as a spring decreases.
However, with such a technique, the effect of improving fatigue properties and weakening resistance is small.
[0009] As described above, conventionally proposed technologies for improving the weakening resistance are insufficient, and high-strength steel wires for springs capable of improving the weakening resistance of springs that can meet the recent demand for higher strength of springs have not yet been obtained.

Embodiment

[0093] Converter cast steels having the compositions shown in steel grades A to Z in Table 1 and steel grades AA to AV in Table 2 were continuously cast, and if necessary, passed through a soaking diffusion treatment process and a billet rolling process to produce 162 mm Square rolled raw material. Thereafter, it was heated to 1150° C. and hot rolled to form a φ8.0 mm steel wire rod. The surface of the steel wire rod was peeled to φ7.4 mm, heated to 950° C., and then lead quenching was performed at the temperatures shown in Tables 3 and 4. After cold drawing to φ4.0mm, quenching and tempering were performed, and the heating temperature before quenching was changed within the range shown in Tables 3 to 4, thereby manufacturing the size of the iron-based carbides in each steel wire and density of existence. In addition, by using a water-soluble quenching liquid (liquid temperature: 40° C.), adjusting the degree of stirring (0 to 50 cm / sec), and changing the cooling rate, each ...

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to steel wires for springs mainly used in high-strength springs such as valve springs, clutch damper springs, and suspension springs used in automobiles, and in particular to steel wires for high-strength springs that are excellent in spring weakening resistance after spring processing, and A spring made from this steel wire. [0002] this application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2015-174730 for which it applied to Japan on September 04, 2015, and uses the content here. Background technique [0003] As automobiles become lighter and more functional, springs used in the above-mentioned various applications are also directed to increase the design stress. In this case, the load stress of the spring increases, and thus a spring excellent in fatigue strength and weakening resistance is required. The so-called elastic weakening refers to the occurrence of plastic deformation in the stress load. Th...
