Wire forming spring is a mechanical part that uses elasticity to work. It is usually made of spring steel. It is used to control the movement of machine parts, to mitigate impact or vibration, to store energy and to measure the magnitude of force. It is widely used in machines and instruments.The spring is just an accumulator. It has the function of storing energy, but it can not release the energy slowly. To realize the function of releasing slowly, it should be realized by "Spring + large transmission ratio mechanism", which is common in the mechanical meter.Spring is a kind of ela...

Types of Springs and their Applications

2018 - 08 - 06

Springs are ubiquitous in all kinds of machines—from consumer products to heavy industrial equipment, take apart anything that involves a mechanism, and chances are, you’ll find a spring inside. Springs are storage devices for mechanical energy—think of them as analogous to batteries! The earliest spring-driven clocks appeared in the 1400s. Fast-forward some 600 years, you still have to charge the Apple Watch everyday, and it’s not nearly as fast as winding a clock…but I digress.My personal fascination with springs began with Slinkies and wind-up toys, and countless mechanical pencils were sac...

Detection of the characteristics of 7.2 torsion springsWhen measuring torque, the size of the torsional spring axis must be suitable. The inner diameter of the spring should be kept to a certain gap, and the friction force and friction torque caused by the contraction of the inner diameter of the spring should be avoided, and the measurement accuracy should be affected. But the spindle can not be too small, otherwise it will cause the offset between the external torque and the measuring torque center, resulting in the error of the torque measurement. The specific testing program for torsion sp...

The spring should ideally conform to hooke's law, that is, the relationship between stress and strain in the elastic range is linear.However, since the actual spring steel is a polyphase and polycrystalline material, there must be inconsistencies in composition, structure, elasticity, etc., and the stress and strain deviated from the linear relationship within the elastic range, which is called elastic incompleteness or anelastic.The phenomena such as elastic after effect, elastic lag, stress relaxation and elastic modulus decrease are produced.After tempering, the stabilization process ca...

The passivation process for springs

日期： 2019-12-30

浏览次数: 156

1、What is Passivation?

As a post-fabrication method, passivation is intended to maximize the natural corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Stainless steel is a steel alloy that contains a minimum of 10.5% chromium content by mass and along with a number of other alloys. When stainless steel is newly formed it needs to be cleaned of lubricants, oils, greases and other substances used in its fabrication. Once the steel has been cleaned it must be passivated. Passivation is a process that treats metal surfaces with an acid solution to make the surface corrosion resistant.

Passive to atmospheric conditions by removing the free iron from the surface that causes corrosion. Once treated with an acid solution, slowly and naturally a passive layer develops on the surface of the steel as the chromium at the surface reacts with oxygen in the air to produce chromium oxide. The molecular layer of chromium oxide provides a barrier to prevent oxygen and moisture from reaching the iron underneath that would otherwise rust if oxygen and moisture contact the iron.

2、The Purpose of Passivated Springs

Because springs are highly susceptible to corrosion they need to be passivated. If springs are not passivated after they are formed, pitting and cavity corrosion of the metal will occur, reducing its strength, thickness, and structural integrity. In addition to environmental conditions, corrosion can occur simply through contact. Without passivation, if oxide deposits from a rusting piece of metal touch non-rusting stainless steel it will spread beyond the point of contact. Corrosion can also happen in any crevice or confined space on a metal’s surface, such as the gaps amongst a nut and a bolt.

3、How Passivated Springs are Treated

Passivated springs are treated through citric acid passivation or nitric acid passivation. Either method treats the metal with an acid solution that acts to remove any free iron from the metal’s surface before that iron can react to water and oxygen in the air, causing rust oxidation.

The use of citric acid passivation or nitric acid passivation of springs depends on its application. Medical grade stainless steel device passivation is an important aspect of taking care of medical parts and components. Today, custom springs for medical devices generally receive citric acid passivation due to its ease of chemical handling, disposal and overall safety for employees involved in the passivation of springs. On the other hand, food-grade stainless steel springs manufactured for use in the food industry typically utilize nitric acid passivation.

In the manufacturing of springs, passivation is a necessary step that is used to resist corrosion and further removal of contaminants from the surface of stainless steel components that have accrued during the manufacturing process.

Constant force spring, or “clock” spring, is a roll of prestressed strip which exerts a nearly constant restraining force to resist uncoiling. The force is constant because the change in the radius of curvature is constant. Such applications as brush springs for motors, counterbalance springs for window sashes and carriage return springs for typewriters. Constant force motor springs are used to drive mechanisms for timers, movie cameras and cable retractors.Constant force spring also known as coil spring helix in a plane of the spring, Spring is the material wound into a plane of the spiral of a spring, the spring is fixed at one end, the other end of the material after acting torque bending torque, bending elastic deformation, so the spring in its own plane to p...
