Material selection critical to spring life optimisation

摘要

Getting the choice of spring material wrong can not only impact on spring life, but can also present a hazard to health and safety, as Dan Goss explains It can, of course, always be taken for granted that both customer and manufacturer want the maximum life for any given product. When it comes to the selection of the most appropriate spring for a given applications, the manufacturer has to consider the sheer extremes of the demands on that application which in turn will influence design of the component, the material selected and the manufacturing process.
