Controlling Residual Stress and Retained Austenite for Better Spring Life

Controlling Residual Stress and Retained Austenite for Better Spring Life

Springs add a bounce to life – until they don’t. Premature failures are often correlated to detrimental (usually tensile) residual stresses or less-than-optimal retained austenite content. Fortunately, residual stresses and retained austenite can be controlled during the manufacturing process. They can be verified using X-ray diffraction. Residual Stresses Springs, by their nature, are subjected to…
