    The document summarizes a study on the effect of stress relief heat treatment time on the fatigue performance of springs. Two types of springs made of drawn carbon steel and SiCr were stress relieved for 0, 5, 15, and 30 minutes. For both materials, the time of stress relief had no effect on fatigue life. While the dimensions of the drawn carbon steel springs changed with increased stress relief time, all conditions failed within the same number of cycles. For SiCr springs, 5 minutes of stress relief showed slightly worse performance than 15 or 30 minutes, warranting further investigation.

    Tech-Spring Report 7 EFFECT OF STRESS RELIEF HEAT TREATMENT ON FATIGUE PERFORMANCE Introduction Customers of the spring industry regularly

    ask whether the time a spring is stress relieved will affect performance. The standard answer to this reasonable question is that time has very little effect. The purpose of this project is to provide the proof that the standard answer is correct. Springs Compression springs made from two materials were supplied. For each batch, the springs were stress relieved for 0, 5, 15 and 30 minutes. The effect of this stress relief on spring dimensions and fatigue life was evaluated. Drawn Carbon Steel The stress relief heat treatment causes this grade to wind up, and so the outside diameter should become smaller and the total coils should increase. The results were as follows. Six springs in each condition were supplied. Do/mm 18.00 17.88 17.86 17.82 n 5.92 5.97 5.97 5.96 100-700 100-750 100-850 1 @ 1.9m 1 @ 2.2m 2 @ 2.2m

    Stress relieved at 270 for 30 minutes 2 @ 107 2 @ 107 1 @ 3m 1 @ 1.8m

    Conclusion The time of stress relief has no effect upon fatigue life. SiCr Again, this spring should wind up during stress relief, but not so much as the drawn carbon steel. The results were as follows. Do/mm 21.18 n 100-700 100-750 100- 800 1 @ 2.3m

    Five minutes stress relief may not be quite so good as 15 or 30 minutes. There is a case for further investigation of 5 minute heat treatment Times (or less) at 380, 400 and 420C.
