The STUDY OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND MICROSTRUCTURE OF MATERIALS USED FOR MANUFACTURE OF BALL SCREW

Abstract

Steels are the most common materials used in daily life. Low and medium carbon steels find wide applications in industrial tools and machineries. The low relative cost and ease of machinability makes it the best metal to be used in day to day applications in the industry. Ball screw is made up of number of parts and each part is made up of different material. Generally ball screw spindle is made up of CF-53 material. In this paper an attempt is made to replace CF-53 material with EN19. In this paper a comparative statement has been made for materials which are used for manufacture of ball screw i.e. CF-53, EN19 and EN31.
