Technical Specifications

Product Overview

Metallurgical Characteristics

Leaf Spring Steel features a tempered martensitic microstructure with fine carbide distribution, providing optimal combination of strength, elasticity, and fatigue resistance. The controlled silicon content enhances spring properties while chromium and vanadium additions improve hardenability and grain refinement for superior structural performance.

Heat Treatment Process

MetalZenith employs precise austenitizing at 850-870°C followed by oil quenching and tempering at 420-480°C to achieve optimal hardness and spring characteristics. Our controlled cooling rates and tempering cycles ensure uniform microstructure and enhanced fatigue life for demanding structural applications.

Manufacturing Excellence

Our advanced production process includes vacuum degassing, controlled rolling, and precision heat treatment with real-time monitoring. MetalZenith's quality systems ensure consistent mechanical properties, dimensional accuracy, and surface quality critical for automotive and structural spring applications.

Specialized Testing & Quality Control

Comprehensive testing includes fatigue strength evaluation under cyclic loading, forming performance assessment for spring manufacturing, welding compatibility testing for structural joints, and atmospheric corrosion resistance verification. Our quality protocols ensure reliable performance in vehicle manufacturing and general engineering applications.

Application Engineering

For automotive suspension systems, our steel provides exceptional load-bearing capacity and ride comfort. In heavy machinery applications, the superior fatigue resistance ensures extended service life. Bridge engineering and structural applications benefit from the material's predictable elastic behavior and resistance to stress concentration failures.
