Torsion Bar Forging for Armoured Vehicles: 45CrNiMoVA Spring Steel
Torsion bars are the primary suspension spring elements in tracked armoured vehicles — each torsion bar connects a road wheel station to the vehicle hull and provides the spring force that supports the vehicle weight while absorbing terrain irregularities. A main battle tank uses 14–18 individual torsion bars per vehicle, each forged in 45CrNiMoVA spring […]
Gun Barrel Blank Forging: Chrome-Molybdenum Steel and 100% UT Requirements
