Abstract |
The auto mobile industry has shown in interest in the replacement of steel spring with composites for the purpose of high strength to weight ratio. The composite material like fiber glass, fiber, polymers were leads to high production cost and requires design modification. But in existing leaf spring are made by materials like carbon steel (C, Si, Mn etc.) and alloy steels (Cr,V,S,Ph etc.) which has the spring material have problem in deflection and can’t withstand high load. So this paper deals to avoid the above problems by using surface coating on leaf spring and also changing the shape of the spring from hyperbola into parabola which helps to increases the deflection of the spring for high loads. Because of above reliability of the spring also increased with low fabrication cost. |
