Advanced Technology of Automotive Connecting Rod

Abstract:

The present requirements for the connecting rod are indicated and the fracture splitting (FS) technologies for constructing the big end boss are reviewed. Two possibilities of FS for a high strength Cr-Mo steel and Ti alloys were discussed. The carburized quench-temper FS connecting rod has a superior fatigue strength with a high dimensional accuracy at the big end boss. The possibility of using a titanium FS connecting rod was examined and proposed.
