Spring Material Selection &
Basic Spring Design
23rd, 24th & 25th September 2008
ATTEND EITHER OR BOTH
COURSES
DAY ONE & TWO -
MATERIAL SELECTION
Providing considerable information about the properties of spring materials and
the logic behind the criteria for their selection to ensure suitability for an
intended purpose.
Covering all the common spring materials together with some of the more
specialised “exotic” grades, providing information on chemical composition,
static and dynamic performance, heat treatment requirements and other properties
appropriate to spring applications.
Suited both to newcomers into the spring industry and those seeking a
‘refresher’ that will help them to make optimum selection of spring
materials. The course is also
valuable to material suppliers enabling them to advise their customers about
correct material selection for specific applications.
Some important aspects of basic metallurgy will be covered in the course,
since this will assist with a more complete understanding of the principles of
spring materials selection.
Drawing heavily upon our in-house data bank of information on spring
materials and their properties, as well as our knowledge of the
development of spring materials around the world.
DAY THREE - BASIC SPRING DESIGN
Providing a programme that
looks at the basic elements of material selection and spring design. This course
will incorporate a large amount of practical exercises where delegates will be
able to design a spring with the assistance of the course tutor and experience
first hand the pit falls of spring design. Other practical exercises will
involve using our range of spring testing machines to determine the load and
rate values of a number of springs.
Learning how to establish which material is best for which spring type and why,
and how each spring parameter (wire size, active coils, spring diameter etc),
influences a springs load at length.
Ideally suited for the machine setters and operators by providing them with a
basic understanding of spring design.
More advanced Spring Designing Training Courses are offered by the Institute.
Delegates do the Basic Spring Design in isolation or then go on to complete the
more advanced courses.
