Product Information

They also have low hysteresis and creep values which makes them preferred for use in food-weighing scales, precision instruments, gyroscopes, measuring devices, recording instruments and computing scales where the temperature ranges from −50 to +150 °F.

Although these materials are more expensive than the high-carbon and the alloy steels, they nevertheless are frequently used in electrical components and in sub-zero temperatures.

The material is available in the annealed condition for forming in 4-slide machines and in presses, and can readily be hardened and tempered after forming. Compression springs can be manufactured in any size, with varying degrees of stiffness, known as spring rate. Ni-Span C** (nickel, iron, chromium, titanium): This very popular constant-modulus alloy is usually formed in the 50 percent cold-worked condition and precipitation-hardened at 900 °F for 8 hours, although heating up to 1250 °F for 3 hours produces hardnesses of 40 to 44 Rockwell C, permitting safe torsional stresses of 60,000 to 80,000 pounds per square inch. Beryllium Copper, ASTM B 197 (98 percent copper, 2 percent beryllium): This alloy can be formed in the annealed condition and then precipitation hardened after forming at temperatures around 600 °F, for 2 to 3 hours. The shear strain experienced by the inner and outer sides differs with the dimensions of the wire and torsional force.

These are non-helical springs with geometries such as wound strips, cantilever beams, disks, and bars.Torsion spring end options – Torsion springs have a straight length of wire as their end, also referred to as a leg. The principal use of this alloy is for carrying electric current in switches and in electrical components. On the other hand, the spring constant varies with the length of spring making it an extrinsic property. Spring steel is a name given to a wide range of steels [1] used in the manufacture of different products, including swords, saw blades, springs and many more. In designing a helical spring for a particular application, the parameters usually known are the applied force and the length of the spring.
