We would like to introduce some frequently asked questions from everyone. "Is it possible to manufacture the same item as the sample (actual product)?" "Can you provide the inspection results for the springs?" and so on. We will answer five questions. 【Frequently Asked Questions】 ■ Is it possible to manufacture the same item as the sample (actual product)? ■ Is it possible to manufacture without a drawing? ■ Can you provide the inspection results for the springs? ■ Do you have a catalog for standard products? ■ Is it possible to create several types of prototypes? *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

Here are some trivia related to spring manufacturing. "Shot peening" involves striking the surface of a spring with small metal balls at speeds ranging from about 40m to 100m per second. This process induces inertial processing on the surface, resulting in the generation of residual stress in the compressive direction, which improves the durability of the spring. " milling" is a type of cutting process that uses tools such as face mills, slab mills, and end mills to perform machining on flat surfaces, side surfaces, grooves, and drilling, among other operations. We mainly use it for the production of leaf springs and fittings. [Knowledge Introduction List] ■ Considerations for designing compression coil springs ■ Shot peening ■ General tempering temperatures for stainless steel ■ Effects and applications of barrel polishing ■ Milling *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

On this page, we introduce "Spring Trivia" from Sugawara Co., Ltd., which handles important products related to social infrastructure such as electric energy and transportation. Piano wire is a high carbon steel containing 0.75 to 0.85% carbon (C). After heat treatment, it is cold drawn, which increases its tensile strength and gives it high quality strength (the spring is durable) as a practical material. It has low heat resistance and strong magnetism. It is prone to rust, so surface treatment and other measures are necessary. 【Features of Piano Wire】 - High carbon steel containing 0.75 to 0.85% carbon (C) - Increased tensile strength after heat treatment and cold drawing - Low heat resistance and strong magnetism - Prone to rust, requiring surface treatment and other measures, etc. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

On this page, we introduce "Spring Trivia" from Sugawara Co., Ltd., which specializes in the design and manufacturing of special springs. Stainless steel means "rust-free," but more precisely, it is "rust-resistant" steel. When chromium is added to iron, it combines with oxygen to form a thin protective film on the surface of the steel. This film prevents the progression of rust. Its heat resistance is superior compared to piano wire, spring steel, and carbon tool steel. 【Characteristics of Stainless Steel】 ■ More precisely, it is "rust-resistant" steel ■ Chromium combines with oxygen to create a film on the surface of the steel that prevents rust progression ■ Superior heat resistance compared to piano wire, spring steel, and carbon tool steel *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
