Connecting Rod

Connecting rod is an element or link which is found in any automobile engine or any reciprocating to rotary motion transmission.

It is a very importing link of a slider crank mechanism, where in we many consider first link as fin body, second as piston, third as connecting rod and forth as crank.

Connecting rod is very important for slider crank mechanism.

One end of connecting rod is connected to piston through a pin called gudgeon pin (at smaller end) and crank pin at bigger end the of the connecting rod. Connecting rod connects crank shaft and piston.

The assembly is made out of connecting rod and crank pin with are manufactured out of low carbon alloy steals like SAE 8620.

They are subjected to heat treatment process like carborizing hardening and tempering process.

The heat treatment process is carried out in modern gas carborizing furnace in which carbon potential is controlled with the help of obey-probe system, having zirconisum sensor. The probe is working in conjuction with M.V. controller to have maximum accuracy of carbon potential on the component.
