Abstract


EN-47 spring steel is chromium, vanadium steel which consists of carbon (0.45–0.55%), manganese (0.50–0.80), silicon (0.50%), phosphorus (0.06%), and sulphur (0.06%) along with chromium (0.80–1.20%) and vanadium (0.15%). Due to this composition EN-47 spring steel become harder and tougher. It has a wide range of applications like crankshafts, steering knuckles, gears, spindles, pumps, suspension etc. So, in this experimental study we treated EN-47 spring steel with cryogenic treatment, cryogenic and tempering treatment, annealing and normalizing and we are going to study the impact of this treatments on its wear resistance offered by it before and after treatment. Samples of EN-47 spring steel are obtained for the study and split into two groups. While the other group is cryogenically treated at temperatures below freezing, the first group goes through a traditional heat treatment procedure. To guarantee precision and uniformity, the precise temperature and duration of each treatment are carefully monitored. After treatment, a variety of analytical procedures, such as microstructure analysis, hardness testing, and wear performance assessment, are used to thoroughly characterize both groups of samples.
