The invention relates to the technical field of
metal material surface treatment and high-strength spring manufacturing, and discloses a stress shot blasting process and equipment for a high-strength spring, and the process comprises the following steps: carrying out hot shot blasting on a quenched spring, and forming initial
dislocation by using cast steel shots; carrying out controllable
water cooling on the spring, and inducing
phase change to construct a tissue foundation; fine steel shots are used for secondary cold shot blasting, and grains are refined to construct middle-layer stress; carrying
out stress shot blasting by using modified
tungsten carbide to construct a deep gradient
stress field; cleaning and
tempering the spring, performing
coating protection, and performing quality detection; the equipment comprises first hot shot blasting equipment,
water cooling equipment, second cold shot blasting equipment, third stress shot blasting equipment and a
control system. Through four-step cooperative treatment of hot shot blasting, controllable
water cooling, cold shot blasting and final stress shot blasting, gradient
residual compressive stress fields with depth and stability are constructed on the
surface layer and the subsurface layer of the spring, cyclic load tensile stress borne by the spring in the
service process is counteracted, and the fatigue performance of the finished spring is improved.
