SAE J316 Class I Heat Treatments


  • Springs coiled from this wire shall be stress relieved for a minimum of 30 min at temperature. Normally, the temperature used will be the maximum which will leave the original hardness of the wire essentially unchanged. Typical temperatures are:
    a) 230°C (450°F) - small diameter (0.5 to 1.4 mm) (0.20 to 0.054 in)
    b) 290°C (550°F) - medium diameter (over 1.4 to 3.0 mm) (over 0.054 to 0.120 in)
    c) 340°C (650°F) - large diameter (over 3.0 mm) (over 0.120 in)
