Abstract

The shot peening process is known to produce a hard layer, known as the white layer” on the surface of coil springs. However, little is known about the fatigue properties of this white-layer.

In this study, coil springs with a white-layer were manufactured. The surface of these springs was then examined using micro Vickers hardness, FE-SEM etc. to test fatigue strength of the springs.

From the results obtained, a microstructure of the white-layer with grain size of 50–100 nm was observed, with a Vickers hardness rating of 8–10 GPa.

Tow category springs were manufactured utilizing a double-peening process. These springs had the same residual stress destruction and surface roughness. Only one difference was observed: one spring had a nanocrystalline layer on the surface, while the other did not. The results of the fatigue test realized an increase in the fatigue life of the nanocrystalline surface layer by 9%.
