Do stainless steel springs need heat treatment?

Do stainless steel springs need heat treatment?

Answer:

The commonly used spring wire diameter of 20 mm or less with cold rolled stainless steel spring, but also forced or polished after being produced, spring can improve the bearing capacity and surface finish.
No. our company produces stainless steel spring wires. After selling them to customers, they only do work hardening and do not do heat treatment. Because stainless steel is different from carbon steel, heat treatment will only be softer.
As if there were none in general. But look at your application. Heat can improve the performance of the spring. If the application requirements are relatively high, the quality of processing will be more stable.
Is the working environment of chemical machinery and electronics and many other industries in the requirements of corrosion resistance, high temperature, without a magnetic elastic element using the stainless steel spring can produce large elastic deformation under load, the kinetic energy is converted into mechanical work or deformation, and the deformation disappears after unloading and stainless steel spring back. The deformation can be converted into mechanical power or energy.
The stainless steel spring needs heat treatment.Stainless steel spring is a kind of spring that can be used in the corrosive medium such as electron, air, steam, water and weak corrosive medium, such as acid, alkali, salt, etc..
