Allowable stresses for plated springs
- Thread starter Philrock
- Start date
If the plating is correctly done according to specification such as ASTM, MIL-STDs, AMS, etc. there is no strength reduction of the wire at all. If hydrogen embrittlement is omitted or not done properly when it is required, the spring may break or crack and such spring should be discarded. There is no safety factor that can compensate for it.
