This study examined the effects of the testing temperature on the mechanical properties of the carbon tool steel (SK4M) for flat spring. Hardness test and fatigue test were performed at room temperature ($20^{\circ}C$). Tensile test and creep test were performed at temperature range $20^{\circ}C$ ~$160^{\circ}C$. The micro-vickers hardness values of SK4M was Hv=584. The Elastic modulus, tensile strength and yield strength of SK4M at 160t test temperature were decreased 0.92 time, 0.97 time and 0.82 time those of SK4M at 2$0^{\circ}C$ test temperature, respectively. The maximum creep strain for 100hr at creep temperature ($80^{\circ}C$ ~$160^{\circ}C$) and creep stress ($37.4Kgf/\textrm{mm}^2$ ~$93.6Kgf/\textrm{mm}^2$) was 0.572%. The fatigue limit of SK4M was $94Kgf/\textrm{mm}^2$.

This study examined the effects of the tempering temperatures($360-420^{\circ}C$) on the mechanical properties of the carbon tool steel (SK4M) for flat spring. Hardness test, tensile test and fatigue test were performed at room temperature($20^{\circ}C$). The tensile strength and yield strength of $390^{\circ}C\;and\;420^{\circ}C$ tempered SK5M were 0.93-0.97 times and 0.81-0.87 times those of $360^{\circ}C$ tempered SK5M, respectively. The fatigue limit of $360-420^{\circ}C$ tempered SK5M were 35-40% of tensile strength of $360-420^{\circ}C$ tempered SK5M, respectively.
