Spring News April Issue" includes trivia about springs: "About Spring Index.

April issue of the Spring News delivered every month! We introduce the spring index (D/d).

The spring index (D/d) is the value of the coil's average diameter divided by the wire diameter. While there are other factors that affect ease of manufacturing, it is generally considered that this value should be between 4 and 20, with 7 to 13 being particularly suitable for spring production. Although a spring index of 4 to 20 is desirable, it is not an absolute requirement to stay within this range. However, producing springs outside of this range can be very difficult or even impossible, so it is advisable to keep it within this range as much as possible. Please leave the design, estimation, and production of various springs to us. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Spring News June Issue" includes a trivia about springs: "What is the effective number of coils?

The June issue of the Spring News delivered every month! It is considered good to have a valid number of volumes of 3 or more.

The effective number of coils refers to the portion of the coil that acts as a spring, calculated by subtracting the number of end coils from the total number of coils in a compression spring. Generally, end coils are often one coil each at both ends, so in that case, the effective number of coils is total coils minus 2. If the first coil and the last coil do not contact the next (previous) coil, and the ground portion is 3/4 of a coil, the effective number of coils becomes total coils minus 1.5. It is considered good practice to have an effective number of coils of 3 or more. For tension springs, the total number of coils equals the effective number of coils (excluding the hook sections). Please leave the design, estimation, and production of various springs to us. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

The development of the spring industry in the early Taisho period and technological innovation through the introduction of testing machines.

[Reproduction of Private Spring Preparatory School Lecture 6] Standards and specifications for steel materials and springs have been established! The spring industry made great strides in the early Taisho period.

In the previous discussion, we talked about how the spring manufacturing industry modernized in the late Meiji period, and how other related industries made remarkable progress. Now, let's study the development process of the early Taisho period. In the late Meiji period, there were printing machine companies that were winding springs, and there is a story that when spring manufacturers went to take orders, they boasted that they could also wind springs. This was because the manufacturing of springs at that time was a closely guarded secret, and even if something was considered good, there were no methods to investigate it. *For detailed content of the article, please refer to the PDF.

The development of the automobile and aircraft industries during the Showa period and the role of the spring industry.

[Reproduction of Private Spring Preparatory School Lecture 9] Explaining the transition of the automotive and aerospace industries! Also discusses war and the spring industry.

Last time, we got sidetracked with the discussion about the new type of Katasa testing machine, but we are finally entering the history of springs in the Showa period. Since the Showa period is quite recent, I believe many of you are already familiar with various aspects, so let's study quickly. The spring industry, having inherited the developments of the late Taisho period, continued to thrive, and undoubtedly, the contributions of automobiles and airplanes were significant, so this time we will focus our study on this topic. As mentioned before, the entry of American automobile manufacturing into Japan from the late Taisho to the early Showa period stimulated the existing three companies in Japan to start full-scale production. *For detailed content of the article, please refer to the PDF.

Establishment of Standards and Changes in Steel Materials in the Spring Industry during the Showa Period

[Reissue Private Spring Preparatory School Lecture 10] About the spring industry during the Showa period! Establishment of various standards and specifications, from JES to JIS.

Last time, we studied the automotive and aircraft industries that form the background of the spring industry during the Showa period. Continuing from that, this time we will have a lesson on the spring industry during the Showa period. One characteristic of the Showa period that must be addressed is the establishment of various standards and specifications. The establishment of such standards can be seen as evidence of the advancement of research into industrial products. For example, regarding the Japanese National Railways, specifications for carbon steel materials for vehicle springs, wire springs for cushions, and wire and plates of phosphor bronze for springs were established in 1928. In 1930, specifications for hard-drawn steel wire for springs were established, followed by specifications for leaf springs and steel wire springs in the following year. *For detailed content of the article, you can view it in the PDF.

The evolution of spring technology and heat treatment methods during the Showa period and their historical background.

[Reissue Private Spring Preparatory School Lecture 11] Explanation of single and double quenching methods! Discussion of new materials and technologies as well.

Last time, we talked about JES and JIS, but this time let's trace the technical history of the Showa era. I gave it a confusing title like "one-stage or two-stage," but in fact, since the late Taisho period, the method of hardening spring plates has been a significant issue for the National Railways, so let me introduce the background. The term "one-stage hardening," which was used at that time (the Taisho period), refers to what we now call "austenitizing hardening," while "two-stage hardening" refers to the process of hardening and tempering. In this regard, the terminology used in heat treatment was incorrect, so although I wrote "one-stage" and "two-stage" in the title for this preparatory school, I will use the correct terms: "austenitizing hardening" for the former and "hardening and tempering" for the latter. *You can view the detailed content of the article in the PDF.

The influence of dynamic stress and fatigue failure in automobile springs and its relationship with road conditions.

[Reproduction of Private Spring Preparatory School Lecture 14] Characteristics of stress on springs! Used under significantly larger static and dynamic stresses.

In the last session, we started with a method for cutting wire by hand and studied fatigue testing methods, but we will continue with the lessons. As you know, springs are used in a very different way compared to general mechanical components. This is evident at a glance, as springs are often significantly bent or undergo intense stretching and contracting movements. The fact that springs are used in this manner means that they are subjected to much larger static and dynamic stresses compared to the design stresses of general mechanical components. *For detailed content of the article, you can view it in the PDF.

Observation of fracture surfaces and understanding of the safety zone in fatigue testing of metallic materials.

[Reproduction of Private Spring Preparatory School Lecture 17] Metals also change when they are fatigued! An explanation of how the results of fatigue tests are organized and utilized in design.

The fracture surface of the fatigue test specimen, like that of an actual fatigue fracture, exhibits both smooth and rough surfaces. The difference is that, in many cases, the smooth surface does not show the shell-like patterns resembling tree rings. This is because the testing machine applies a constant repeated stress, preventing the progression of cracks from exhibiting a step-like pattern. The shell-like patterns that form on the fatigue fracture surface of automotive springs occur due to variations in the weight of the load or changes in road conditions, which cause fluctuations in the repeated stress. Additionally, there are instances where the smooth fracture surface of the test specimen appears discolored purple; this is due to temper colors resulting from frictional heat generated by the rubbing of the crack surfaces. *For more detailed information, please refer to the PDF. Feel free to contact us for further inquiries.*

The Story of Butsushutarou and the Estimation Method of Fatigue Limits Learned from Static Strength and Its Practice

[Reproduction of Private Spring Preparatory School Lecture 18] Study of Fatigue Limit Estimation Method! Estimating fatigue limits from tensile strength and hardness test results.

Once upon a time, there was a story called "Monkusho Taro." It is said that he was so lazy that he would lie around all day and even relied on others to pick up the rice cakes he dropped. However, in the end, he achieved great success and was enshrined as a deity. Now, even if one does not achieve success or become a god, it can be tedious to go through exhausting tests that require both effort and time. Therefore, for those like Monkusho Taro, let’s study methods for estimating fatigue limits. This is based on the idea that there may be some relationship between fatigue limits and static strength, which many scholars are seeking to understand. The results indicate that there is a certain degree of correlation, but the variability is also quite large. The variability is not limited to just fatigue strength. *For more detailed information, please refer to the PDF. Feel free to contact us for more details.*

The importance of factors affecting fatigue strength, such as notches and surface roughness, and their countermeasures.

[Reproduction of Private Spring Preparatory School Lecture 19] Notches reduce both static strength and fatigue strength! The scary part is the notches that are like bacteria, which are hard to see.

Last time, we studied that if we know the tensile strength of a material, we can estimate the approximate fatigue limit, and that this fatigue limit cannot be used as is. From this time onward, we will explain the factors that influence fatigue strength for a while. Have you encountered any mechanical parts in your daily handling that have broken due to fatigue failure, as we have studied so far? Please pay attention to where the starting point of fatigue cracks is. Usually, don't they start from places like keyways, oil holes, threads, abrupt changes in cross-section, or welds? *You can view the detailed content of the article in the PDF.

The importance of corrosion treatment and surface strengthening to enhance the durability of springs.

[Reproduction of Private Spring Preparatory School Lecture 23] Explanation of methods to prevent the decline of fatigue strength and surface treatments aimed at corrosion protection!

In recent discussions, we have explained the factors that lead to a decrease in fatigue strength. However, as the saying goes, "If you think you will lose, you will lose." Therefore, while we won't call it a surefire method, let's study ways to prevent the decline in fatigue strength. To improve fatigue strength, the first consideration is surface enhancement. As previously mentioned, this includes cleaning the surface and preventing decarburization, but there are also other effective measures such as corrosion protection and shot peening for springs. *For detailed content of the article, please refer to the PDF.

The effects and precautions of shot peening in improving the fatigue strength of spring materials.

[Reproduction of Private Spring Preparatory School Lecture 24] An explanation of the miracle cure for improving fatigue resistance, shot peening, and other important considerations!

Today, let's study shot peening, a remedy for improving fatigue strength, as a way to wrap things up, along with other important points. Shot peening involves bombarding the surface of a spring with small steel balls at high speed using compressed air or centrifugal force to strengthen that surface. The effects of this strengthening can primarily be considered as follows: A. Blowing away surface scale and decarburization layers, thereby reducing a type of notch. B. Generating effective residual stress on the surface. C. Work hardening the surface. D. Creating a uniform roughness on the surface. *For detailed content of the article, please refer to the PDF.

Last time, I briefly explained "Steel H," but today I will finally get serious and talk about perversion. As we learned previously, steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, and the strength and structure of steel change depending on the carbon content. However, it also varies with temperature, and the stable state is represented by a "phase diagram." *For detailed content of the article, you can view it in the PDF.

Causes of defects due to heat treatment and preventive measures: countermeasures for overheating, quenching, and cracking.

[Reprint Private Spring Preparatory School Lecture 33] What you need to be careful about is overheating! An introduction to defects that are likely to occur during heat treatment.

Today, in the sense of a final review, let's study the defects that are likely to occur during heat treatment. The first thing to be cautious about is overheating. This occurs when steel is unnecessarily heated to a temperature above the specified level, which not only damages the fuel but also accelerates the wear of the furnace. Overheated materials are prone to decarburization, oxidation, and grain coarsening, leading to cracking and making the mechanical properties more brittle. In the heat treatment of springs, there is also a chance of overheating during shaping and quenching heating. How can we prevent this? *For detailed content of the article, please refer to the PDF.

The relationship between the quality and surface defects of spring steel wire and its price.

[Reproduction Private Spring Preparatory School Lecture 38] Make sure to check that there are differences in price depending on the type of line and the line diameter!

Last time, I lectured on the manufacturing process of spring steel wire. We studied how more effort is put into removing surface defects for higher quality wires. Today, I will discuss how this affects the surface defects of the wire and how it reflects on the price. First, looking at the raw material wire, the higher the carbon content, the more expensive it is. For example, if the price of high carbon steel wire type 6 is set at 100, then that of high carbon steel wire type 4 is 87. *For detailed content of the article, please refer to the PDF.

Quality and tensile strength of spring steel wire and changes in coil diameter.

[Reproduction of Private Spring Preparatory School Lecture 39] An explanation of how the tensile strength of spring steel wire significantly affects coiling!

I also assigned this as homework, but did you understand the differences in quality and performance among various types of spring steel wire? Today, let's try making springs with steel wire. Oh, excuse me, you all are better at spring manufacturing than I am. I would like to learn from you, so let's skip that. By the way, why do the springs made from spring steel wire fit precisely into certain dimensions and specific spring characteristics? *For detailed content, you can view it in the PDF.

Improvement of fatigue resistance of springs by shot peening and precautions during processing.

[Reproduction of Private Spring Preparatory School Lecture 43] Fine matte texture on airplane parts! Explanation of shot peening.

Shot peening is a processing method in which countless small steel balls are struck against the surface of springs that have completed shaping and heat treatment. As a result of this processing, the surface of the spring develops numerous indentations and becomes similar to a pearlescent pattern. The formation of these surface irregularities occurs because the steel balls collide with great force against the surface of the steel, causing that area to undergo plastic deformation. *For more detailed information, please refer to the PDF.

A comprehensive summary of the causes of wire spring damage and preventive measures.

[Reproduction of Private Spring Preparatory School Lecture 45] The usable temperatures of various steel wires and JIS related to wire springs are also included in the table!

I would like to conclude the long study of spring mechanics with this session. Looking at examples of spring failures, they can be broadly categorized into breakage and deformation. Among these, the causes of breakage are mostly due to manufacturing defects and usage defects, while material defects are relatively minor. A common manufacturing defect is surface defects caused by overheating during heat treatment. In terms of usage defects, deterioration due to corrosion is likely. In the former case, shot peening is effective, while in the latter case, using stainless steel materials is effective. *For detailed content of the article, please refer to the PDF.
