Allowed CO2 emissions for new automobiles.
• Environmental agencies all over the world have
established the normative to reduce fuel
consumption and emission of greenhouse effect
gases in light vehicles.
• CO2 emissions in the transport sector in the
European Union increased in a 17% in the period
from 1990 to 2014. Light passenger transport
vehicles increased their emissions in 12%, heavy
load transport vehicles doubled it.
• Agencias ambientales alrededor del mundo han
establecido normativas para reducir el consumo de
combustible y emisión de gases contaminantes de
efecto invernadero en vehículos ligeros.
• Las emisiones de CO2 en el sector de transporte
en la unión europea aumentaron en un 17% en el
periodo de 1990 a 2014. Vehículos ligeros de
trasporte de pasajeros aumentó su emisiones en
un 12%, los vehículos de transporte pesado
incrementaron en el doble.

Justification• It would be required for industry and
academia to contribute and make an active participation in strategies conducing to increase the efficiency in transportation and reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
• SISAMEX that is involved in the manufacture of components for heavy vehicles have plans to reduce the weight of their components, without impairing the integrity or increasing the risk for failure, to reduce the level of emissions while increasing the load capacity of their vehicles.
• The housing is made of hot rolled carbon steel that is shaped into form within a wide range of temperatures and it is subjected to fatigue due to loading and road conditions.
Justificación• Se requiere que la industria y la
academia contribuyan y participen activamente en estrategias que contribuyan a aumentar la eficiencia en el transporte y reducir el combustible y las emisiones.
• SISAMEX involucrada en la fabricación de componentes para vehículos pesados tiene planes de reducir el peso de sus componentes, sin perjudicar la integridad o aumentar el riesgo de fallas, para reducir el nivel de emisiones y al mismo tiempo aumentar la capacidad de carga de sus vehículos.
• La carcasa está hecha de acero al carbono laminado en caliente que se forma en un amplio rango de temperaturas y está sometida a fatiga debido a la carga y las condiciones de la carretera.
Objective
• Determine by experimental trials normalizing response of two low carbon steels at different normalization and quenching temperatures. Determine also the best combinations of time-temperatures for ageing.
Objetivo
• Determinar mediante pruebas experimentales la respuesta de dos aceros de bajo carbono a diferentes temperaturas de normalización y temple. Y determinar la condición mas favorable de tiempo-temperatura para envejecer los aceros en cuestión.
Experimental procedure
• The housings of the axles are manufactured from hot rolled carbon steel; its thickness varied depending on the type of axle and the loading conditions to which the vehicle will be subjected to.
Procedimiento experimental
• Las fundas de ejes son fabricadas de placa de acero al carbono rolada en caliente. Su espesor varía dependiendo el tipo de eje y las cargas a las cuales el vehículo estará sometido.
• For each cooling media, water or air, 5 different temperatures were used and for ageing 3 temperatures with 3 different dwelling times just for air cooling samples.
• Para cada medio de enfriamiento, aire o agua se usaron 5 diferentes temperaturas de calentamiento. Para el envejecimiento se usaron 3 temperaturas con 3 distintos tiempos para la condición enfriada al aire.
Steels
• Two low carbon Steels were compared both are considered to be an alternative to the one in use for rear axle housing
Aceros
• Se comparan dos aceros de bajo carbono, ambos considerados para sustituir el acero actual usado en fundas de ejes traseros.

Conclusions• Two steels with similar chemical
composition were compared as an option to substitute current steel for axle housing.
• Samples of A steel quenched in water has a hardness that ranges from 298 HV to 198 HV, samples of B steel has hardness values of 274 HV to 181 HV depending of quenching temperature.
• The maximum hardness values for A Steel were for 850°C of normalizing temperature. Minimum hardness values were obtained of samples normalized at 750°C.
• The maximum hardness values for B steel were for 950°C of normalizing temperature. Minimum values were for 750°C of normalizing temperature.
