Spring Materials
• Strength of spring wire is inversely and
exponentially proportional to diameter
• Cold drawing hardens and strengthens
spring wire (but reduces ductility)

Workshop 14
A helical compression spring is wound from 3.5 mm dia . A228 music wire (set
removed) and has an OD of 22 mm. The spring has plain-ground ends.

valid for steel springs only
If a compression spring is apt to buckle, all is not lost!
• Place a rod inside spring, or
• Use the spring inside a tube
