Whether in cooling systems, in space<\/a> or other low temperature applications. Metal springs often have to withstand temperatures of up to – 200 degrees. Despite rising tensile strenght<\/a> low temperatures have an unfavorable effect on the material, as the toughness decreases and brittle fractures can occur. For low-temperature applications, stainless spring steels, copper and nickel alloys are preferable to the patented spring wires and valve spring wires. The following table shows the limit temperatures.<\/p>\n

When working at low temperatures, surface defects caused by machining (e.g. grooves) or bends with small bending radii must be avoided.<\/p>\n
