| Abstract;The conventional middle carbon non-heat-treated steel used in connecting rods has been used as a base in the development of a new material. High fatigue strength has been achieved by increasing the toughness of the ferrite, which tends to act as a crack origin, while optimal control of the reduction of toughness achieved through addition of Ti has been effective in enabling fracture splitting of the material. Connecting rods produced using the new steel demonstrate 30% higher fatigue strength than connecting rods produced from conventional non-heat treated steel, and possess stable fracture splitting characteristics. In addition, the new connecting rods show identical strength to connecting rods made of the conventional material, but are 13% lighter. (author abst.) |
