Patent Searching and Data


Title:
TORSION BAR AND PRODUCTION METHOD THEREFOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/131374
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention is designed to improve fatigue strength and suppress the occurrence of surface cracks due to repeated use. This torsion bar 10 is subjected to heat treatment so that the hardness distribution, in the cross sectional direction, is lower in the surface than in the center thereof. More specifically, the quench depth extends to the center, thus increasing the yield point and improving the fatigue strength. Meanwhile, the toughness of the surface is relatively higher than the center, and this makes it less likely for cracks to occur due to repeated use. Furthermore, the hardness of the surface is relatively lower than the center, and this makes it easier to apply detent processing.
