Steering rack components are subjected to highly dynamic and cyclic loading due to steering inputs, road irregularities, and vibrations. These variable stress amplitudes demand materials with high tensile strength and excellent fatigue resistance to maintain performance over time.
To enhance durability, components undergo precision-controlled heat treatment processes like carburizing and quenching. These treatments create a hardened surface layer that significantly improves resistance to crack initiation and propagation, ensuring long-term reliability under continuous mechanical stress.
Achieving strict dimensional tolerances is critical for the meshing between the rack teeth and pinion gear, directly affecting steering precision and feedback. Advanced CNC machining combined with superfinishing processes produces surface finishes typically below Ra 0.4 microns, reducing friction and wear at contact interfaces. Geometric accuracy on tooth profiles is maintained within micrometer-level deviations, reducing backlash and enabling consistent torque transmission. This precision manufacturing reduces vibration and noise while maintaining stable steering performance over the component’s lifecycle.
Steering rack components are exposed to environmental factors, including moisture, de-icing salts, and contaminants that accelerate corrosion. Utilization of corrosion-resistant alloys such as alloyed steels with chromium or molybdenum, coupled with multilayer surface treatments like phosphate conversion and thin dense coatings (PVD/CVD), offers enhanced chemical and electrochemical stability. These protective layers also improve surface hardness, reducing abrasive wear from particulate matter, and extend functional life without compromising dimensional integrity.
