How does heat treatment process improve the precision of pullback spring

Jan 27, 2025

Heat treatment is a technology that changes the internal structure and physical properties of materials by precisely controlling heating, insulation and cooling in the solid state. This process is particularly important for the manufacture of Pullback Springs. Its main goal is to optimize the internal structure, improve the hardness, strength and wear resistance of the material, and reduce residual stress and deformation, thereby improving the precision and stability of the spring.

Heat treatment practice of Chaoying
In the heat treatment process, the speed, temperature and insulation time of heating and cooling are the key parameters affecting the performance of the spring. Chaoying has introduced advanced heat treatment equipment that can accurately control these process conditions to ensure that the spring achieves ideal structural transformation during the heating process, while avoiding stress and deformation caused by improper cooling speed during the cooling process.
For Pullback Springs of different materials and specifications, Chaoying has formulated a series of detailed heat treatment process parameters. These parameters include heating temperature, insulation time, cooling medium and cooling speed, etc., which have been rigorously tested and optimized to ensure that each batch of springs can obtain the best mechanical properties and precision after heat treatment.
During the heat treatment process, the residual stress and deformation inside the material are important factors affecting the precision and stability of the spring. Chaoying has effectively eliminated these residual stresses and deformations through reasonable process design, especially tempering after quenching, ensuring the size and shape stability of the spring.
Chaoying has also introduced advanced heat treatment equipment and testing technologies at home and abroad, including high-precision heat treatment furnaces, metallographic microscopes and hardness testers. These equipment not only ensures the precise control of the heat treatment process, but also conducts comprehensive quality inspections on the springs after heat treatment, including indicators such as hardness, strength and residual stress, to ensure that each batch of products can meet the strict requirements of customers.

The effect of heat treatment process on the precision of Pullback Spring
Through scientific heat treatment technology, Chaoying has achieved significant precision improvements in the manufacturing of Pullback Spring. These improvements are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Enhanced dimensional stability: The springs after heat treatment show higher stability in size and can maintain excellent performance even under extreme environmental conditions.
Optimized mechanical properties: The improvement of hardness, strength and wear resistance makes the spring more durable during use, significantly reducing the probability of failure due to fatigue and wear.
Residual stress reduction: Heat treatment effectively eliminates residual stress inside the spring, reduces the risk of cracking and deformation caused by stress concentration, and ensures product reliability.
Improved shape accuracy: Through precise heat treatment control and testing, the shape accuracy of the spring has been significantly improved, fully meeting customers' demand for high-precision springs.
