Technical Product Information
Spring wire for applications with high performance demands
Suzuki Garphyttan has produced wire since 1906. Since 1927 the main product is oiltempered valve spring wire for the automotive industry. During the years others specialty wires such as stainless round wire, flatrolled and shaped wire in carbon, low alloyed and stainless material, have been added to the product program. We have acquired extensive knowledge and experience of steel grades, efficient manufacturing and quality control which is crucial to the properties of the finished product. Large resources are invested in research concerning improved properties of our products and improved manufacturing processes, enabling Suzuki Garphyttan to be world leader in the manufacturing of spring wire. The main focus is spring wire for combustion engines (valve and transmission springs, piston rings, compression rings, fuel injection springs) and other automotive applications.
Coiling properties Defect free surfaces, narrow dimensional and tensile strength tolerances are important in achieving the best properties for spring coiling. Each wire is continuously controlled during the entire manufacturing – from wire rod to the finished product – according to a specific control plan. Certified quality Suzuki Garphyttan has a Quality Management System certified according to the International Standard for Quality ISO TS 16949. Our main wire rod suppliers also have Quality Management Systems certified by a third party according to ISO 9001 as a minimum and are also regularly audited by Suzuki Garphyttan. Technical We are prepared to assist you in utilizing modern materials for maximum performance. For us it is obvious and necessary to be at the front, to serve our customers, discussing problems and areas for development in existing as well as new products. Environmental awareness Our goal is to manufacture high quality products without any negative effects on the environment. We are continuously improving our manufacturing processes to improve both internal and external environment. Before new investments are made, special consideration is given to environmental solutions. We are certified according to ISO 14001. For more information regarding different elements in our products we recommend the database IMDS ”International Material Data System” where each element is named with a separate CAS-No. See the following Internet address: www.mdsystem.com.

Specialty steel spring wire for applications with high performance requirements
Oil tempered spring wire

OTEVA® oil tempered valve spring wire For valve springs in combustion engines as well as for transmission and crankshaft damper springs subjected to extreme fatigue. OTEVA® grades cover different demands of high performance in tensile strength and fatigue life.
High quality oil tempered wire
Our valve spring wire grades differ from each other in of chemical, mechanical and technical properties as well as required surface finish with regard to surface depth and decarburization levels. Oil tempered wire is also manufactured with egg or elliptical cross sections. Profiled cross sections give the advantage of optimum distribution of stresses in a spring (see fig.).
KD oil tempered clutch and transmission spring wire For use in clutch springs of different types with various performance demands. KD is an oil tempered wire with good dynamical characteristics, excellent coiling characteristics and good relaxation properties.
Stress distribution in transversal section comparing round (picture to the right) and egg shaped (picture to the left) wire respectively.
STATO oil tempered spring wire An oil tempered wire grade used for springs subjected to static stress or moderate fatigue. STATO is available in different types of steel demanding ultimate tensile strength, and relaxation properties comparable to the OTEVA® grades. Good coiling characteristics make STATO an excellent alternative to cold drawn spring wire.

Heat treatment As soon as possible after coiling, the springs should be stress relieved. Depending on nitriding temperature used later in the valve spring manufacturing process, this temperature may be decreased. Hot presetting After shot peening, the springs should be hot preset or stress relieved. In order to reach optimum fatigue and relaxation properties, the springs must be preset at an appropriate stress. Delivery forms See separate sheet.

Nitriding Springs of OTEVA® 90 SC should be nitrided to obtain optimum fatigue and relaxation properties. Our recommendation is gas nitriding.

Shot peening In order to obtain optimum fatigue properties, the process time should be adjusted to get a complete treatment. Size of shots should be adapted to wire dimension, pitch and shot peening equipment. For nitrided springs with an extremely hard surface zone, it is important to use a shot peening media with high hardness. Shot peening of the inside of the spring coils is particularly critical.

Spring conditions for fatigue and relaxation tests (specially designed test spring) Diagram 1 and 2:
Heat treatment As soon as possible after coiling, the springs should be stress relieved. Shot peening In order to obtain optimum fatigue properties, the process time should be adjusted to get a complete treatment. Size of shots should be adapted to wire dimension, pitch and shot peening equipment. Shot peening of the inside of the spring coils is particularly critical. Hot presetting After shot peening, the springs should be hot preset or stress relieved. In order to reach optimum fatigue and relaxation properties, the springs must be preset at an appropriate stress.
