| Abstract: | Leaf springs
withstand varying stresses and vibrations due to road conditions. Influence of
high contact pressures and temperatures results in micro welds between two
mating leaf surfaces. The work presented in this paper relates to improvement
in fatigue and fretting fatigue performance of leaf springs used in automotive
vehicles. The fatigue strength of 65Si7 spring steel has been evaluated
experimentally as a function of shot peening parameters for application in
automotive vehicles. Effects of shot peening and coating on fatigue life of
leaf springs are discussed. |
