[Table] The manufacturing process of stove rods using iron-based materials No. 1 to 6 in Table I is as follows. (a) In the case of iron-based materials No. 1 and 2 Die forging is performed on the iron-based material heated to approximately 1200℃ to obtain a conrod-shaped forged product → the forged product is air-cooled → the forged product is installed in a blast machine Then, the rod part 1a of the forged product is subjected to cold press processing by embossing or roller processing to correct its shape.→The forged product is subjected to shot peening using a shot with a diameter of 0.8 mm. The rod section 1a, which has been installed in a machine and subjected to cold pressing, is shot peened for 30 minutes to impart compressive residual stress to the skin of the rod section 1a. (b) In the case of iron-based materials No. 3 and 4 Iron-based material No. 3 corresponds to carbon steel for machine structures,
No. 4 is a steel with increased chromium content to improve hardness. Die forging is performed on iron-based material heated to approximately 1200℃ to obtain a conrod-shaped forged product → Reheating the forged product at 850°C for 30 minutes → Applying quenching treatment to the forged product → Forging Products at 500℃
It is heated for 60 minutes and then subjected to tempering treatment.Then, scale removal treatment, cold pressing and shot peening treatment are carried out in the same manner as in the case (a) above. (c) Cases of iron-based materials No. 5 and 6 Iron-based material No. 5 is the steel of No. 3 with increased chromium content and the addition of molybdenum to improve hardness. No. 6 has substantially the same composition as No. 3 except that the carbon content is set to less than 0.1% by weight as described above. In this case, the reheating treatment in (b) above is performed.
The process was carried out at 870°C for 30 minutes, and the tempering process was carried out at 200°C for 60 minutes; other treatments were the same as in (b) above. The table shows the values of compressive residual stress in the rod portion 1a of the connecting rod 1 obtained through each of the above steps. Conrod Nos. 1 to 6 correspond to iron-based materials Nos. 1 to 6, respectively.

[Table] Figure 3 shows the fatigue strength test results for conrods No. 1 and No. 6. Line a 1 goes to conrod No. 1, and line
A 2 has the same material as cooking stove No. 1, but it corresponds to the case where shot peening is not applied, and as shown in Figure 3, fatigue strength can be improved by 20 to 30% by applying shot peening. it is obvious. The other condensing rods No. 2 to 5 also have fatigue strengths comparable to those of No. 1. On the other hand, line b 1 corresponds to condensing rod No. 6, and line b 2 corresponds to the case where the material is the same as condensing rod No. 6 but is not subjected to shot peening treatment. It is clear that the fatigue strength hardly changes even if it is applied or not. This is due to the fact that the carbon content of the iron-based material is set to less than 0.1% by weight in stove No. 6, and the Rockwell hardness H R C is low at 12, resulting in insufficient hardness. This is because shot peening treatment cannot impart large compressive residual stress. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary that the iron-based material has a carbon content of 0.1% by weight or more and a Rockwell hardness H R C of 20 or more. The appropriate compressive residual stress is 30 to 100Kg/ mm2 ,
If it is less than 30Kg/mm2, sufficient strength cannot be obtained, while if it exceeds 100Kg/ mm2 , the surface roughness will deteriorate due to the increase in shot projection time and radiation amount, resulting in areas with acute notch sensitivity. On the contrary, the strength deteriorates and the appearance quality also deteriorates. The cold pressing process may be applied to the entire conrod including the small end 1b and the large end 1c, and in that case, the entire conrod may be subjected to shot peening. C. Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, a ferrous material having a carbon content of 0.1% by weight or more and a Rockwell hardness H R C of 20 or more is used, and is subjected to forging, cold pressing and shot processing. By performing the peening treatment, it is possible to provide a condensing rod that not only has good dimensional accuracy but also has a well-balanced strength throughout and has a rod portion that has excellent fatigue strength.
