Conclusions
-
1.
The N36KhTYuM8 alloy has a rather high resistance to relaxation for several hundred hours at 350°C without any preliminary stressing.
-
2.
Coil springs made of this alloy can be operated 500 h at 500°C or higher provided that the conditions of heat treatment and preliminary stress are correctly chosen; the stress decreases 20%.
-
3.
The magnitude of the preliminary stress should be no higher than 0.8 of the yield strength.
-
4.
The duration of preliminary stress should correspond to the time of the intial section of the relaxation curve. The duration of preliminary stress should be increased with increasing temperature.
