Oil Tempered Wire

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.

High quality oil tempered wire

Stress distribution in transversal section comparing round (picture to the right) and egg shaped (picture to the left) wire respectively.
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. Our valve spring wire grades differ from each other in terms 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.
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.

Other wire sizes on request. Ovality, i. e. the difference between the largest and smallest dimension of a cross section, is maximum half the tolerance range. Conversion from tensile strength to hardness values can be calculated in standard ISO EN 18265. Torsion test is carried out for assessing deformability. The fracture of the torsion test piece shall be smooth and perpendicular to the wire axis. The rupture shall show no longitudinal cracks.
Yield point The proof stress Rp0.2 is min. 0.8 x tensile strength of the wire. The proof stress will rise above 0.9 x tensile strength after stress relieving the springs. The tensile strength Rm 2 within one coil does not vary more than 50 N/mm . E and G modulus Modulus of elasticity, E: Modulus of shear, G: About 206 kN/mm2 About 79.5 kN/mm2
Our critera for releasing wire rod material for valve spring wire are the following; For wire rod samples: Inclusion size max. 15 m in surface area. Inclusion size, surface Max. number of inclusions 510 50 > 1015 7 >15 m 0
Surface condition Non-destructive testing In the standard size range 2.20 - 6.00 mm the wire is tested continuously in Eddy Current equipment to a surface level of > 40 microns. Other wire sizes on request. End sample test The wire is end sample tested by means of etch testing and binocular inspection as well as microscopical inspection of the material structure. Decarburization and surface defect depths Max. permissible depth of partial surface decarburization and surface defects, 0.5% x wire diameter. No complete decarburization allowed. Non-metallic inclusions The presence of non-metallic inclusions in the wire rod is inspected for every heat in accordance with the Suzuki Garphyttan method (or alternative max. T-method).
As stated by IVSWMA*, it is likely to find occasional inclusions in valve spring quality steel of a size larger than 15m.
* IVSWMA: International Valve Spring Wire Manufacturers Association
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.

OTEVA 90 SC
Oil tempered SiCrV+Ni-alloyed high tensile valve spring wire for surface nitriding Soft shot peening Before the nitriding process a soft shot peening process shall be applied in order to remove the oxide layer on the spring wire surface. 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. Relaxation and fatigue properties In diagram 1 the fatigue properties of this grade are illustrated in a Goodman-diagram, based on a special test spring design. Diagram 2 shows the relaxation properties (loss of load) of springs made from OTEVA 90 SC wire subjected to static compression at different temperatures, nitrided/not nitrided.

OTEVA 76 SC
Oil tempered SiCrV-alloyed high tensile valve spring wire 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. Relaxation and fatigue properties In diagram 1 the fatigue properties of this grade are illustrated in a Goodman-diagram, based on a special test spring design. Diagram 2 shows the relaxation properties (loss of load) of springs made from OTEVA 76 SC wire subjected to static compression at different temperatures. For further technical support, please contact Suzuki Garphyttan.
