Heat treatment

Category: Materials & treatments

A controlled heating and cooling process that improves the spring's mechanical properties.

After coiling, a low-temperature stress relief stabilizes the spring and reduces unwanted residual stresses; precipitation-hardening alloys such as 17-7 PH stainless gain strength from the treatment.
