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 a Stress-strain diagram be determined.

The following factors can affect the Strength of materials influence:
• The type and condition of a spring material
• The temperature during processing
• The rate of exercise
• The stress level

Above all, the loads to which a spring is exposed have a direct influence on its strength. A distinction can therefore be made between the types of strengths in the direct dependence of the Stress .

Temporal differentiation:
• In the static strength the load is dormant.
• In the dynamic strength , also Fatigue strength called, the load changes. This strength describes the deformation and failure behavior of an oscillating (dynamically) loaded material for a certain number of cycles. It is made using the Wöhler experiment calculated.

Differentiation according to the type or direction of exposure:
• Tensile strength: It stands for the highest mechanical stress in the material during a tensile test.
• Compressive strength: It describes the resilience of the spring material under the action of compressive forces.
• Flexural strength: It describes the resistance of a material when it is bent.

For the selection of a spring material, the tensile strenght a significant role. Important for the mechanical Design of the spring is the minimum value, i.e. the guaranteed strength value.
