Abstract

Problem Statement (Relevance). The authors analyzed bench tests of a front axle beam of KAMAZ trucks. The paper presents values of the composition, structure, hardness and cyclic durability of parts made of heat-hardenable steel 45X, and describes the influence of hardness and surface shot blasting of parts on cyclic durability. A positive role of shot blasting of parts with DSLU-2.2 improved cast steel shots is shown in terms of removing the decarbonized layer and other surface defects. The authors determined the steel hardness value of the base of the part required to achieve satisfactory machinability by cutting forgings and specified resistance of the front axle beam under cyclic loading; and a reasonable period of shot blasting, and temperature/time parameters of thermal refining of forgings, providing a rationale for a durability of parts of 1 million cycles or more. The technology of surface shot blasting and heat treatment was applied at the production facilities of PJSC KAMAZ and recommended for their introduction at machine-building enterprises in other industries. To determine the degree of surface shot blasting of parts, the authors developed and introduced a device, containing Almen strips in the most critical points of the product. Objective. The study is aimed at developing technological solutions to improve cyclic durability of long-length steel machine parts. Methods Applied. The authors applied metallographic analysis and statistical methods of processing experimental data. Originality. The paper presents the determined optimal parameters of surface shot blasting of long-length parts, providing a cyclic durability of 1 million cycles or more. Result. The developed technology of surface hardening of long-length parts contributes to increasing their cyclic durability. Practical Relevance. The technology has been introduced into the process of manufacturing long-length parts at the Forging Plant of PJSC KAMAZ.
