Automatically Manufactured Compression Springs

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

Harris Springs offers compression springs made from wire diameters from 0.25mm up to 3.0mm. They can be automatically manufactured from a range of different materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, phosphor bronze, copper beryllium, oil tempered steel and other specified materials.

Processing of Microalloyed Forging Steels

Thursday, March 9th, 2006

The driving force behind the development of microalloyed forging steels has been the need to reduce manufacturing costs. This is accomplished in these materials by means of a simplified thermomechanical treatment (that is, a controlled cooling following hot forging) that achieves the desired properties without the separate quenching and tempering ...

The Strengthening of Iron and Steel

Thursday, March 9th, 2006

Although pure iron is a weak material, steels cover a wide range of the strength spectrum from low yield stress levels (around 200 MPa) to very high levels (approaching 2000 MPa). These mechanical properties are usually achieved by the combined use of several strengthening mechanisms, and in ...

High-Strength Structural and High-Strength Low-Alloy Steels

Thursday, March 9th, 2006

High-strength carbon and low-alloy steels have yield strengths greater than 275 MPa and can be more or less divided into four classes: As-rolled carbon-manganese steels As-rolled high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels (which are also known as micro alloyed steels) Heat-treated (normalized or quenched and tempered) carbon steels Heat-treated low-alloy steels. These four types of ...
