Any chance someone has the T1075 data/curve from the ASM Handbook Vol. #1 that they could email? Also, I've revised the webpage significantly. Please take a look and advise on other potential metals/alloys that might work.
Of course, ALL help is greatly appreciated...
Questions: Is there a known ratio of bend/thickness for T1075 that is acceptable? A ratio that will allow the spring to flex with a reasonable number of cycles (2000 min) and no premature fatigue failure?
If those number of cycles simply cannot be achieved with T1075, is there another...
WOW, excellent response Israelkk! I impressed with your evaluation. I hadn't thought of the beam, in essence, decreasing in length due to it's contact with the radius - makes perfect sense.
Also, your calculations are right on with mine (F = 3DEI/L3rd) as well as with the empirical date...
Thanks for responding DF. I've revised my webpage with more detail regarding the application. Please visit:

In answer to your questions:
1) Yes, the spring is attached to the arch on the left side of the image and is bent over the arch to...
THANKS for your feedback!
Having a VERY tough time finding answers. Not familiar with an "post-processing" other than the obvious annealing/rolling/tempering/quenching/carbonizing. Are you talking about the addition of other metals to create an alloy?
I've contacted about 10 steel...
I have an application where a piece of high carbon T1075 and/or T1095 spring steel is bent over a portion of a 10 inch radius to achieve a cantilever spring. See attached link below.
Question 1: I can use either a 1.5 inch wide 0.125 or an 11 inch wide 0.062 to achieve the same spring rate...

Thank you for your time. I need to know the basics of C1075-C1095 spring steel when used as a cantilever spring. Approximate dimensions are 18" long x 14" wide and .062-.125 thick.
Specific questions:
What is the maximum bend before the spring will take a permanent set? I've been using 10...
