Surface treatment and tempering of metal springs
Surface treatment and tempering play an important role in the spring industry to protect metal springs from corrosion, reduce friction and improve their performance.
The main processes for the surface treatment of metal springs are:
Zinc flake coatings with Delta Seal:
This coating technique provides excellent corrosion protection for metal springs. Delta Seal forms a thin but very resistant protective layer on the surface, ensuring high resistance to corrosion, wear and friction. Areas of application include the automotive industry, electrical engineering and household appliances.
Coatings with bonded coatings:
These coatings serve to improve the friction properties of the metal springs. They reduce wear and ensure low-friction movement. Bonded coatings are used in the automotive industry, mechanical engineering and medical technology.
Galvanizing:
Galvanizing metal springs offers a high level of protection against corrosion because a layer of zinc is formed on the surface. This process is often used in the construction industry, in plant construction and in electrical engineering.
Nickel Plating:
Nickel plating protects metal springs from corrosion and gives them an aesthetically pleasing surface. Nickel coatings are used in various industries including electronics, jewelry manufacturing and automotive.
Tinning:
Tinning metal springs provides protection against corrosion and improves the solderability of the surface. This process is often used in the electrical industry, in model making and in aviation.
Silver Plate:
Silver plating gives metal springs a silver finish that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also provides protection against corrosion. Silver-plated nibs are used in jewelery making, in musical instrument making and in the optical industry.
Passivate:
This process is used on stainless steels to increase corrosion resistance. It forms a protective passive layer on the surface. Passivated springs are used in food processing, the chemical industry and medical technology.
Bluing:
Blueing gives the surface of the metal springs a thin layer that protects against corrosion and at the same time offers a decorative look. Blued springs are used in the weapons industry, in tool making and in precision engineering.
Oil film and lubricant treatment:
Treatment with special oils or lubricants reduces friction and extends the life of the metal springs. This method is used in various industrial sectors, especially in the mechanical engineering industry and in the automotive industry.
Shot peening:
Shot peening involves treating the surface of metal springs with shots made from specific materials to remove imperfections and create a smooth finish. This process is used in aerospace, toolmaking and electronics.
Grinding (Trowalizing):
In vibratory finishing, metal springs are spun in a drum together with grinding tools and grinding fluid. This smoothes edges, eliminates irregularities and improves surface quality. Vibratory finishing is used in many industries, especially in the automotive industry, in mechanical engineering and in jewelry manufacture.
It should be noted that the choice of surface treatment depends on various factors such as the area of application, the specific requirements and the environmental conditions.

The torsion spring:
Cylindrical torsion springs or also known as torsion springs, helical torsion springs are widely used and versatile machine elements components in the world of mechanics and spring technology.
The structure of a cylindrical torsion spring consists of a wire that is wound in a helical shape around a central axis in even turns.
torsion springs are used to absorb and release a rotating movement, a torque or a force and to guide the movement of the legs.
torsion springs are characterized by the ability to absorb and release deflections, forces or torques around a rotation axis and to guide the rotational movement.
torsion springs usually have a cylindrical spring body on which two legs are arranged.
The legs can be arranged tangentially, radially or axially, whereby each leg can have a different arrangement. Different spring end shapes can be attached to the end of the two legs, e.g. straight leg, hook shape, eyelet shape, round or square.
The terms "torsion spring", "torsion spring" and "torsion spring" refer to the same component.

The double torsion spring:
Double torsion springs, double torsion springs and double torsion springs are widely used and versatile machine elements in the world of mechanics and spring technology.
The structure of a double torsion spring consists of a wire that is wound in a helical shape in even turns to form two separate spring bodies. The two spring bodies are connected by a wire, which is usually designed as a U-shaped web.
The legs or spring ends of the double torsion springs are usually attached to the outside of the respective spring body. The force or torque is introduced either via the U-shaped web or via the legs. The double torsion spring is usually guided via a mandrel, axle or bolt.

The wire bent part:
In practical use, standardized wire bent parts such as spring rings, snap rings, retaining rings, clips, pins, etc. are found. A paper clip or a staple clip also belongs to the wire bent parts, wire form springs and bent parts.
However, in practical use, non-standardized, individual, application-specific designed wire bent parts are mostly used. Wire form springs and bent parts are used.
The focus is on the function of the component: e.g. securing, protecting, holding, positioning, clamping or springing.
Wire form springs, wire form springs and bent parts made of spring steel wire are important components in various industries and applications. Bent wire parts are special machine elements that usually have springy properties.
They are made into a specific shape by bending wire and offer a variety of advantages in terms of flexibility, cost-effectiveness and functionality.
