Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, demand for motor shafts, core components of drive motors, continues to increase. As a key component of motors, hollow motor shafts must meet multiple performance requirements. First, during operation, the motor shaft must withstand multiple loads, including electromagnetic torque, rotor gravity, and vibration. Therefore, it must possess sufficient strength and rigidity to prevent deformation or fracture during operation and ensure proper functioning of the motor. Second, the motor shaft must exhibit good toughness, capable of withstanding a certain degree of impact loads to avoid brittle fracture under sudden external forces, thereby improving its reliability and service life. Furthermore, due to the relative motion between the motor shaft and components such as bearings, it also requires excellent wear resistance to reduce wear, ensure the motor's precision and performance stability, and reduce maintenance costs. Therefore, the performance of the motor shaft is directly related to the motor's efficient and stable operation, placing higher demands on its materials and manufacturing processes.

[0003] 20MnCr5 steel is a high-strength alloy steel with high strength, high toughness, good hardenability and fatigue resistance. It is widely used in the field of heat-treated gears and shaft steel.
