Hot Wound Springs Overview
Characteristics
Hot wound springs are produced by heating the metal (generally steel), forming it into the desired shape, and tempering it to the preferred specifications. Hot wound springs are preferred when larger steel springs are needed since steel in its natural state is difficult to form in larger applications without cracking.
Application & Industries
Hot wound springs are generally found in larger applications like vehicle suspensions, valve actuators, and in large trucks and outdoor equipment. They are used in several industries, some of which include, agriculture, automotive, construction, military, petrochemical, valves, and mining.
