The Effects of the Testing Temperatures on the Mechanical Properties of the Stainless Steel(STS301CSP) for Flat Spring

박판 스프링용 스테인리스강재(STS301CSP)의 시험온도에 따른 기계적 특성평가

This study examined the effects of the testing temperature on the mechanical properties of the stainless steels (STS301CSP-3/4H and STS301CSP-H) for flat spring. Hardness test and fatigue test were performed at room temperature (2$0^{\circ}C$ Tensile testandcreeptestwere performed attemperature range 2$0^{\circ}C$~10$0^{\circ}C$. The micro-victors hardness values of STS301CSP-3/4H and STS301CSP-H were HV=443 and HV=488. respectively. The Elastic modulus, tensile strength, yield strength and strain of these materials were decreased with increasing testing temperature. respectively. The maximum creep strain for 100hr atcreep temperature (10$0^{\circ}C$~20$0^{\circ}C$ and creep stress (Tensile strength$\times$50%) of these materials were 0.53％~0.58%. The fatigue limit of STS301CSP-3/4H and STS301CSP-H were 64.5Kgf/mm$^2$ and 67.4Kgf/mm$^2$, respectively.
