In this study the effect of cyclic plastic deformation on the mechanical properties of alight duty grade of spring steel DIN 50Cr3, commonly used in leaf spring wasinvestigated. This steel has a chemical composition of 0.25% C, 0.8% Cr, 0.79% Mn,and 0.2% Si. Primarily, standard tensile specimens of this steel were cut andsubjected to a quenching and tempering heat treatments. Austenitization was carriedout at 870oC for 1h followed by quenching in oil and then tempering was applied at450oC for 1h. Subsequently, Different pre-plastic deformation strains of 1%, 2%, and2.5% were applied followed by various number of tensile stress cycles from zero to amaximum stress of 9%, 12.5%, and 16.5% over the offset yield stress of thequenched and tempering specimens. These plastic strains and stress cycles cansimulate the possible over loading of the vehicle. By increasing the number of cyclesunder a constant amplitude for a given fixed pre-plastic strains, the ultimate andoffset yield strength of the spring material were sensibly increased while ductility wasdrastically decreased.
