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 HRC 41 and HRC 49.

If the hardness exceeds HRC 49, brittle properties could be produced, increasing failure possibilities.

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

       HRC 41  =  187,000  psi tensile                                            HRC 49  =  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.
