Cold drawn spring steel properties
Cold drawn spring steel properties
(OP)
Is it possible to determine the approximate yield strength of a cold drawn spring steel knowing only the UTS of the material or can it be determined from other factors such as hardness etc.?

To calculate springs go to:

Having said all this, the yield strength of very strong metals can approach the UTS, that is a 70%-80% value may apply. Always use the numbers in producers data sheets or recognized handbooks. In the Precision Metals web site their numbers are very good for working with spring design.
This subject can get a little involved due to the terminology and at times somewhat technical definitions. There are some good inexpensive handbooks on metals and their properties available, they used to be free. Maybe someone will suggest one.
I hope this helps.
