X-ray Determination of Compressive Residual Stresses in Spring Steel Generated by High-Speed Water Quenching

Automotive components manufacturers use the 5160 steel in leaf and coil springs. The industrial heat treatment process consists in austenitizing followed by the oil quenching and tempering process. Typically, compressive residual stresses are induced by shot peening on the surface of automotive spri...
