Heat Setting Procedures for Helical Coiled Springs
Abstract
Various heat setting procedures for the manufacture of helical compression springs were investigated to determine optimum heat setting methods that will minimize operational spring set and load losses. Production springs were fabricated from music wire, stainless steel and chrome vanadium materials. The springs were given heat setting treatments under different conditions of temperatures, time durations and stress levels. Effects of the various heat setting procedures on spring set and load reductions were evaluated by laboratory endurance tests. Recommended heat setting procedures based on study results are given for the spring materials and test conditions investigated in this project.
