Hey there! As a supplier of 35CrMo Outer Tie Rod Ends, I'm super stoked to share with you the awesome advantages of using 35CrMo material for these crucial auto parts.
First off, let's talk about what an outer tie rod end is. It's a key component in a vehicle's steering system. It connects the steering rack to the steering knuckle, allowing the wheels to turn when you turn the steering wheel. A high - quality outer tie rod end is essential for safe and smooth driving. And that's where 35CrMo material comes in.
High Strength and Toughness
One of the biggest perks of using 35CrMo material for outer tie rod ends is its high strength and toughness. 35CrMo is an alloy steel that contains chromium and molybdenum. These alloying elements enhance the steel's mechanical properties.
The chromium in 35CrMo helps to increase the hardenability of the steel. This means that when the outer tie rod end is heat - treated, it can achieve a high level of hardness throughout its cross - section. A harder outer tie rod end can withstand greater forces without deforming. Whether you're making sharp turns on a winding road or hitting a pothole, the 35CrMo outer tie rod end can handle the stress.
Molybdenum, on the other hand, improves the steel's toughness. Toughness is the ability of a material to absorb energy and deform plastically before fracturing. In the context of an outer tie rod end, this means that it can resist cracking and breaking under impact. So, even in rough driving conditions, you can count on a 35CrMo outer tie rod end to keep your steering system intact.
Good Wear Resistance
Another great advantage is its wear resistance. The outer tie rod end is constantly in motion, rubbing against other parts in the steering system. Over time, this friction can cause wear and tear. But 35CrMo material has excellent wear - resistant properties.
The hard surface that can be achieved through heat treatment of 35CrMo acts as a protective layer. It reduces the amount of material loss due to friction. This means that the outer tie rod end will have a longer service life. You won't have to replace it as often, which is not only cost - effective for vehicle owners but also reduces the environmental impact of manufacturing and disposing of auto parts.
Fatigue Resistance
Vehicles are used day in and day out, and the outer tie rod end is subjected to cyclic loading. Every time you turn the steering wheel, the outer tie rod end experiences a certain amount of stress. This repeated stress can lead to fatigue failure if the material is not up to the task.
35CrMo has good fatigue resistance. Its microstructure, combined with its high strength and toughness, allows it to withstand thousands or even millions of loading cycles without failing. This is crucial for the long - term reliability of the steering system. You don't want to be in a situation where the outer tie rod end fails suddenly due to fatigue, as it could lead to a loss of steering control and a serious accident.
Heat Resistance
In addition to the mechanical stresses, the outer tie rod end can also be exposed to high temperatures. For example, during heavy braking or long - distance driving, the temperature in the steering system can rise.
35CrMo has good heat - resistant properties. It can maintain its strength and hardness at elevated temperatures. This means that even when the outer tie rod end gets hot, it won't lose its mechanical properties. It will continue to function properly, ensuring the safety and performance of the steering system.
Machinability
As a supplier, I also appreciate the machinability of 35CrMo. Machinability refers to how easily a material can be cut, shaped, and formed into the desired part. 35CrMo can be machined using common manufacturing processes such as turning, milling, and drilling.
This makes it easier and more cost - effective to produce outer tie rod ends. We can achieve tight tolerances and high - quality surface finishes, which are important for the proper fit and function of the part. The good machinability also allows us to produce parts in large quantities efficiently, which helps to keep the prices competitive for our customers.
Corrosion Resistance
Although the outer tie rod end is usually protected by a boot or a coating, it can still be exposed to moisture, road salt, and other corrosive substances. 35CrMo has some inherent corrosion - resistant properties. The chromium in the alloy forms a thin oxide layer on the surface of the steel, which acts as a barrier against corrosion.
However, to further enhance the corrosion resistance, we often apply additional treatments such as the QT + black process. You can check out our 35CrMo QT+black Process Outer Tie Rod for more details on this. This process not only improves the corrosion resistance but also gives the outer tie rod end a nice, black finish.
Quenching for Enhanced Properties
We also offer 35CrMo Outer Tie Rod End with Quenching. Quenching is a heat - treatment process that involves heating the steel to a high temperature and then rapidly cooling it. This process can significantly improve the hardness and strength of the 35CrMo outer tie rod end.
By quenching the outer tie rod end, we can fine - tune its mechanical properties to meet the specific requirements of different vehicles. Whether it's a small car or a heavy - duty truck, our quenched 35CrMo outer tie rod ends can provide the performance and reliability needed.
