The history of stainless steel spring

Like most other basic mechanisms exist Bronze Age metal spring long. Even the metal, wood is used as a structural member flexible bows and military catapult. In precise clocks Renaissance, makes precision springs for the first time become inevitable. Fourteenth century saw a revolutionary astronomical clock accurate navigation development. Exploration and conquest of the European colonial powers of the world to continue to provide the impetus watchmaker "Science and Art. Another area of firearms and promote the development of spring spring just accumulator, which has the function of storing energy, but not slowly energy released, slowly release to achieve this function should rely on "spring + large transmission ratio mechanism" to achieve common in mechanical watches. early spring there long before the application of ancient bows and crossbows are two kinds of broad sense the spring of the inventors in the strict sense of the spring should be British scientist Hooke (RobertHooke), although when the helical compression spring, and there have been widely used, but the proposed Hook "Hooke's Law" - and the elongation of the spring proportional to the size of the force that is precisely based on this principle, in 1776, the use of helical compression spring balance spring come soon, spring according to the principle of making use exclusively for watches have been invented Hooke himself while in line "Hooke's Law" in the spring is the spring in the true sense. disc spring is French belleville invention is the use of sheet metal or forging blanks made of a truncated cone section spring washers in modern industrial appear after that, in addition to the disc springs have emerged gas springs, rubber springs, spiral springs, die springs, stainless steel springs, air springs, and other new memory alloy spring spring. article focuses on the stainless steel springs.

Stainless steel spring force by nature, stainless steel spring tension springs can be divided, compression springs, torsion springs and bent springs, disc springs can be divided according to the shape, the ring springs, leaf spring, coil springs, torsion spring and volute truncated cone lever spring. Ordinary cylindrical spring due to manufacturing simple, and can be made into various types according to loading conditions, the structure is simple, it is most widely used. Stainless steel is an elastic spring to work in stainless steel mechanical parts. Generally made of stainless steel spring. To control the movement of parts, ease shock or vibration, energy storage reservoir, the size of the measuring force, widely used in machinery, instrument. Complex and diverse types of stainless steel spring, according to the shape points, the main coil spring, spiral spring, plate spring. According to the nature of the force, stainless steel spring tension springs can be divided, compression springs, torsion springs and bent spring. Stainless steel spring with good corrosion resistance, heat resistance, low temperature strength and mechanical properties, stamping, bending and other thermal processing, and no hardening heat treatment. Uses: auto parts, aviation, aerospace hardware tools, chemical, boiler, medical equipment, building materials, food industry and so on.
