Prestressing: Ensuring high spring quality

Prestressing is a quality-improving process often implemented during the manufacture of springs – mainly compression springs – to enhance their mechanical properties and improve their fatigue life (life cycle). The process involves compression by loading a spring past its elastic limit until it reaches a solid position or a predetermined length (the latter is less common) and plastic deformation occurs. This results in a number of enhancements to the spring including: Increased elastic deformation Increased load capability Improved relaxation [...]

Shot Peening: Ensuring high spring quality

In this series of blog posts, we will look at how to reduce the net stress on springs through quality manufacturing. In this post, we delve into how shot peening achieves this. This process traces back to its use in the automobile industry in the late 1920s. It is still widely used today in aerospace and automotive high performance component production. What is Shot Peening? Shot peening is the cold working process of firing spherical pellets at the surface [...]

Common Spring Applications – JB Springs

Springs are a fundamental part of our day-to-day lives. As spring applications are often out of sight, it is likely you’ll encounter something that incorporates a functioning spring of some description. For example, getting to work. Whatever mode of transport you use - most use some kind of spring. Below are just some of the most common, but surprising, occurrences of springs in our daily routines. Transportation Without springs, your daily commute would be considerably more uncomfortable. Whether you [...]
