Importance of Quality Control in Industrial Spring Manufacturing
Why Quality is Indispensable?
Industrial springs are the invisible heroes ensuring the operation of critical machinery parts from automotive to defense industries. The quality of a spring is measured not only by dimensional accuracy but also by the success of material structure and heat treatment processes.
1. Material Selection
A quality spring starts with the right raw material. Carbon steels, stainless steels, or special alloys... The temperature of the usage area, corrosion risk, and load amount determine the material selection.
2. Heat Treatment and Tempering
Heat treatment is vital for springs to gain elasticity and remove brittleness. Incorrect temperature or duration can reduce spring life by 80%.
3. Load and Life Cycle Tests
As Aktif Yay, we check every batch we produce in computer-aided test devices (Load Testing). It is reported how much the springs stretch under the specified load (spring rate) and after how many thousand cycles they show fatigue.
In conclusion, quality control is not a cost, but a guarantee of customer satisfaction and safety.
