Development of high-strength Cr-Si spring steel for the engine valve spring

$15.00

A new high-strength Cr-Si spring steel with a better sag resistance and good fatigue property for engine valve springs was developed through the increase of carbon content and the addition of alloying elements such as V, Mo, W to conventional Cr-Si spring steel (SAE 9254). A new steel showed tensile strength of 2100 Mpa, which is 10 percent higher than that of the conventional steel.
