Material for all types of springs and other demanding applications Springs and other details made of stainless strip and wire from Sandvik Materials Technology are used in applications ranging from products in our daily lives such as cars, telephones and computers to parts in medical, aerospace and other special purpose applications. Some springs will be exposed to millions of load cycles during service while others have to maintain a constant force for several years.They may have to work in corrosive environments, at high temperatures as well as in products where the material needs to be...

A common requirement for spring applications is a material with high strength so that it does not become plastically deformed in service. For stainless steels this is achieved by cold working the material to the required tensile strength. The degree of cold work together with the chemical composition of the steel determines the tensile strength.This means that there is great flexibility in the combination of size and tensile strength that can be obtained. A less alloyed austenitic stainless steel will deformation harden more and it is therefore possible to reach a higher maximum strength. A...

Thickness tolerances Our cold rolling mills are equipped with automatic gauge control systems for continuous thickness measurement and adjustment for process control. This results in thickness tolerances superior to those given in EN 10258. On strip wider than 25 mm, the measuring point is at least 10 mm from the edge. For narrower strip the tolerance applies over the whole width of the strip. The standard tolerance class is T2. Width tolerances The width tolerances are in accordance with EN 10258 regarding total range, but with ±-tolerances around the nominal width instead of +-tolerances...

Shape tolerances Flatness Deviation from flatness in cold rolled strip is difficult to specify, because it can appear in a variety of forms. Crossbow, waviness and coil set are measurable -see illustration.These different forms can also act in combination. One form or the other will predominate, depending on the width, thickness and tensile strength of the strip. For strip less than 50 mm wide, deviation from flatness can be stated as crossbow in percentage of width or as coil set in mm/300 mm lengths. Both these properties can be measured with suitable instruments. The coil set is usually...
