Compression springs , partly too Tension springs and Leg springs The subsequent treatment of their surfaces gives them additional properties – depending on the application, they become, for example, harder, more rustproof or more heat-resistant. Gutekunst feathers offers for his
Spring materials with high fatigue strength
Whether spring steel, bronze or brass wire – everyone Spring material has a specific strength. This determines the degree of mechanical resistance, for example if it comes to plastic deformation or separation. The characteristic values for the strength can with
Spring steel for low temperatures
Whether in cooling systems, in space or other low temperature applications. Metal springs often have to withstand temperatures of up to – 200 degrees. Despite rising tensile strenght low temperatures have an unfavorable effect on the material, as the toughness
Maximum working temperature of spring materials
The level of the working temperature can significantly influence the function of a metal spring, as the tendency to Relaxation increases with increasing temperature. table : Limit temperatures from Spring materials with minimal relaxation material Maximum working temperature in °
Ball blasting of metal springs
What is shot peening? Shot peening is a special kind of Surface treatment . In the process, blasting media are accelerated in special systems and hit the surface of the workpieces to be processed, such as Metal springs , steered.
Spring steel wires and their properties
Which spring steel wire is suitable for which application? Spring steel wire compared to other steels has a higher strength and can be up to a certain voltage ( Elastic limit “Rp” ) are deformed. With this property, the spring
Modulus of elasticity in the spring calculation
The modulus of elasticity is a material parameter from materials engineering and defines the slope of the graph in the stress-strain diagram. This characteristic describes the relationship between tension and strain in the deformation of a solid body in a
Spring steel properties
List of the most important spring steels with material description, operating temperature, modulus of elasticity (E-modulus) and sliding modulus (G-modulus) as well as price index. Compared to other steels, spring steel has a higher strength and can be deformed up
