The composition and structure of spring steel, the changes in strength due to carbon content, and the importance of quenching.
[Reproduction of Private Spring Preparatory School Lecture 53] Study of heat treatment that creates spring hardness! Explanation of carbon that strengthens steel.
I plan to study the heat treatment that creates spring hardness. That said, since there are new students, let's also study the structure beforehand. Pure iron is surprisingly soft, so it is not useful in the machinery industry. However, if you add a tiny amount of carbon to this iron, it becomes something very useful called carbon steel. The amount of carbon increases in the order of mild steel, medium carbon steel, hard steel, and ultra-hard steel, with the carbon steel for springs (SUP3 and 4) belonging to the ultra-hard steel category. Even in this ultra-hard steel, the carbon content is only about 1.5%. I apologize for the repetition, but let's take another look at the JIS spring steel material table here. *For detailed content of the article, you can view it in the PDF.

Accurate offers a wide range of products including compression springs, extension springs, torsion springs, wire forming, battery springs, and flat springs in the Ultra Spring (Accurate Original standard spring) series, as well as custom-made items and both wire and sheet materials. We are capable of manufacturing and selling these products. Additionally, we have permanent showrooms for springs in Akihabara, Nagoya, and Kyoto. We maintain a constant stock of catalog items, including Ultra Springs, enabling immediate delivery. Currently, Ultra Springs has approximately 3,000 different items, all with manufacturing lot numbers for traceability, and we promote the industry's first two-point load management and no discontinued items, striving for quality and supply stability to expand globally. Our free spring selection and design software, "Select Spring-kun," allows for easy selection of Ultra Springs, spring design, lifespan calculations, estimates, and delivery date confirmations. The Accurate Tangless Insert reduces the work time of conventional products (Heli-Coil) to one-sixth, and is a NAS-certified revolutionary product that achieves cost reduction for screw hole operations in aluminum cutting and resin materials, particularly in the aerospace and aviation industries, as well as high-speed rail and semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and medical devices.
