Importance of Hardness in Crankshaft – RA Power Solutions

The hardness of crank pin and main journal of crankshaft is of great importance for the satisfactory performance of the crankshaft. In case of low RPM diesel engine, the crankshafts are not hardened and the hardness is achieved by the metallurgical properties. In case of high RPM engine, crankshafts are hardened. The most common process followed by the manufacturers of crankshaft grinding machine is to go for induction hardening.

CRANKSHAFT

Due to seizure of bearings, the temperature goes high and the hardness increases. The increase in hardness makes the crankshaft brittle resulting to the development of crack.

RA Power Solutions Pvt. Ltd. suggests that whenever seizure of bearings takes place it is important that crankshaft hardness is checked and presence of crack should also be checked either by dye penetrant process or Magnaflux.

In cases of this form of failure, it is typically seen that hardening occurs, which results in the development of hard spots and hard areas next to the soft sections, even up to the scale of 700 HB. According to the manufacturer’s specifications, the extraordinarily high increase in the crankpin journal hardness is not desirable so the crankshaft is heated up and annealed.
