Automobile leaf springs play a crucial role in vehicle suspension systems, and their service life is influenced by several key factors. These include the material selection, raw material defects, heat treatment quality, and shot peening effectiveness. Research conducted by Ma, Gan Chunjin, Gong Ning, and Dong Wenling from Henan Anyang Iron and Steel Group Corporation highlights that the service life of Anyang 455004 leaf springs is significantly affected by these elements.
Leaf springs are subjected to alternating stress during operation, making fatigue fracture the primary cause of failure. To withstand such conditions, they must have high fatigue strength, good plasticity, and a high elastic limit. The surface of the spring is particularly vulnerable, as fatigue cracks often originate there. Therefore, it is essential for the steel to undergo proper quenching and tempering at medium temperatures, followed by shot peening to enhance surface integrity.
In practice, the service life of leaf springs varies widely. Some domestic models last only 2,000 to 3,000 kilometers, while imported Japanese leaf springs can last up to 10^6 kilometers or more. This discrepancy prompted a comparative analysis between domestic and imported trucks to identify the main factors affecting performance.
Material selection is one of the most critical aspects. In China, silicon-manganese steels like 55SiMn are commonly used due to their cost-effectiveness and good mechanical properties. However, they are prone to issues such as overheating, decarburization, and graphitization. Adding alloy elements like chromium and manganese improves hardenability and fatigue resistance, which is why Japanese leaf springs typically outperform domestic ones.
Raw material defects, such as non-metallic inclusions and banding structures, also impact performance. These imperfections reduce plasticity and toughness, increasing the likelihood of micro-cracks and fatigue failure. Proper heat treatment is essential to minimize these issues. For example, improper quenching can lead to underheated structures, resulting in reduced hardness and strength.
Shot peening plays a vital role in improving the fatigue life of leaf springs. It not only strengthens the surface but also removes minor defects and reduces residual stresses. However, poor shot peening quality can result in uneven surface treatment and shortened service life.
Driving conditions and operator behavior also influence the longevity of leaf springs. Rough driving, overloading, and poor road conditions can accelerate wear and tear. Maintaining proper load levels and careful driving practices can significantly extend the lifespan of these components.
To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to use high-quality materials like chromium-manganese spring steel and implement precise heat treatment processes. Regular inspection of raw materials and adherence to best practices in manufacturing and maintenance are essential for maximizing the service life of automobile leaf springs.
