The stress-strain diagram can be used to determine the static load capacity of spring steel. The stress-strain diagram shows the elongation behavior of the spring steel during the tensile test until it breaks. For the designer, the stress-strain diagram is
Bending radius in metal forming
The bending radius (r) is the radius measured after the bending process of a metal component or a shaped spring and flat shaped spring. However, the strength of the spring material decreases due to bending. The material thickness at the
