A carbon steel useful for machine structural use having improved cold forgability and induction hardenability comprises particular amounts of C, Si, Mn, Cr, S, P, O, N or further Mo and the balance being substantially Fe.

Carbon steel for machine structural use

A connecting rod having a pair of spaced apart flanges parallel to a plane defined by a crankshaft axis and a piston pin axis. A web connects the flanges to form a rod portion having an I-shaped cross section. The inner surfaces of the flanges include a lateral rounded projection adjacent to the flange edges to improve bending and stress characteristics.

Connecting rod for internal combustion engine and method of manufacture

A DOHC engine of the V-type has two cylinder heads each detachably secured to a cylinder block. A crank shaft on the block drives two intermediate shafts, one on each cylinder head, by means of an endless flexible element. An additional flexible endless element is provided in each cylinder head to drive two cam shafts from the intermediate shaft on that cylinder head. Each endless flexible element together with its toothed pulleys or sprockets and its timing belt or chain is described as a wrap-around transmission.
