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

COMMENTS:
Material is produced in the Cold Rolled / Annealed condition. After coiling springs should be aged
to the H 900 condition. Bars with hardness value of 44 Rc will have estimated tensile of 200 KSI.
As a general rule, bar lengths are 12 feet long. Some sizes are available up to 20 feet in length.
Check with a Suhm representative to verify lengths.

Beryllium Copper has several temper designations. The application
determines which temper to use. Call your Suhm representative for
details.

COMMENTS:
Material is produced in either the solution annealed or solution annealed/aged condition. This
specification only requires that minimum strength values be met. If necessary check with a Suhm
representative to obtain actual capabilities for tensile and yield. Aging time and temperatures are
extensive (20 Hrs. @ 1300F) to produce the required strengths.
Bar lengths in general will average 12 to 14; however, Suhm maintains a stocking arrangement to
have available 10 - 20 lengths on some sizes. Some sizes are available in lengths up to 35'.
Check with a Suhm representative to verify sizes and lengths.

COMMENTS:
There is currently not a standard/specification which covers tensile/yield strength values for
spring tempered wire. Tensile strengths should be comparable to Inconel X750; however,
please check with a Suhm representative for actual strength values.
Larger sizes can be obtained in the spring tempered condition. Check with a Suhm
representative for further information.

COMMENTS:
There is currently not a standard/specification which covers tensile/yield strength values for spring tempered
wire. Tensile strength should be comparable to Inconel X750, however please check with a Suhm
representative for actual strength values.
Larger sizes can be attained in the spring tempered conditions. Also bar stock is available in the solution
annealed/aged condition. Check with a Suhm representative for further information.

COMMENTS:
Material is produced in the As Rolled condition. Springs produced from wire size diameters
are "Cold Wound" and Tempered. Springs produced from bar size diameters are "Hot Wound",
quenched, and tempered. Each Hot Wound spring is hardness checked to insure proper
