Fabricated Titanium Wire for Industrial Application

As specialists in manufacturing high-strength titanium wire forms, ARGO Spring was contracted to produce the custom large diameter wire extension spring shown here. Constructed from 0.375″ diameter Beta C treated cold-drawn titanium to meet the needs of a heavy duty industrial application, we utilized various precision machining processes to form the tapered spring coils and the hooked ends, which we trimmed to leave the desired gap. Secondary operations included shot peening to induce compressive stresses and improve fatigue life, as well as liquid penetrant inspection to verify the surface was free of any defects before the primer was applied.

This tapered extension spring was wound with 29.5 coils and features max O.D. of 3.0″, mean O.D of 2.625″, and free length of 29.469″. We manufactured 56 units of this large diameter wire form according to the customer’s tight delivery schedule.
