Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the strength of a socket of aluminum in a ball joint to that of a steel socket by applying shot peening to the surface of the socket of aluminum for hardening the surface of the socket. CONSTITUTION:Shot peening is applied to the whole surface of a socket 6 of aluminum of a ball joint 11. As a result, the surface of the socket 6 is hardened, so the strength of the ball joint 1 including this socket 6 is increased, and the limit point of its static load resistance becomes higher as well.

Here, in the aluminum socket 106 as described above,
Since the limit point of static load capacity is lower than that of a steel socket, the ball stud 102 is easily removed from the socket 106, and there is a risk that the power transmission ability will be lost. Therefore, in order to bring the limit point of static load capacity closer to that of a ball joint with a steel socket, the thickness of the socket must be significantly increased compared to the case of a steel socket.
