I'm not looking for help designing a spring. I am looking for alternate materials that can be used in a leaf spring application.
Definately will look into Elgiloy, thank you for the suggestion.
Well its a leaf spring, approximate size 1.250"x2.000".
At this point its designed with 17-7 ch900. Lookng to up the displacement on the spring so in order to meet sress/fatigue I woulk like to investigate alternate materials in order to not change the envelope.
Just looking for spring...
Definately structural properties - ultimate/yield tensile strength, fatigue is very important as this is for a spring application.
Intrisnic properties are less of a factor.
Hello all,
Do you have any suggestions for alternate spring materials, in sheet of plate form, with superior or similar properties to 17-7 ch900? Any material options are welcome. Titanium, composite, etc.
Thanks
