[Reproduction Private Spring Preparatory School Lecture 56] There are also restrictions on the components of special elements! The composition of JIS spring steel is also determined by this.
The components that increase hardenability are manganese, chromium, silicon, and especially boron, which has a significant effect even in small amounts.
Now, if we keep adding such special elements, will the hardenability of spring steel increase, allowing us to make springs of any thickness? Not so fast.
First, the properties of the steel will change, making it unsuitable for spring steel, and when it comes to thicker materials, shaping becomes very difficult. Being large is not necessarily a good thing.
