COMMENTS FOR ALL ALLOYS:

Material is produced in the “As Rolled" condition. Springs are manufactured via the Hot Wound

procedure, quenched and tempered.  Each spring is checked for Rockwell Hardness to insure

the proper temper is achieved.  Temper Hardness should range between 41 Rc & 49 Rc .

exceeds 49 Rc  this could produce brittle properties, increasing failure possibilities.

Bar lengths in general range from 40’ to 45’.

       41Rc /   =    187,000  psi tensile                                            49Rc /   =    253,000  psi tensile

Note: Virtually all Hot Rolled Alloy Bar stocked by Suhm is turned and polished.

 These data are provided as a reference guide only and are not intended for design purposes.  Strength values and sizes are subject to change.  Please check with a Suhm Spring representative for confirmation.
