Comparative Assessment of Mechanical Properties and Fatigue Life of Conventional and Multistep Rolled Forged Connecting Rods of High Strength AISI/SAE 4140 Steel

This paper aims to improve the mechanical properties and fatigue life of AISI/SAE 4140 alloy steel connecting rods (CRs). Conventional CRs are typically manufactured through open die forging/hammering, blocking, and hot forging processes. In the present work, a modification to the process route has...
