State and justify material for leaf spring.

1 Answer

Answer :

Leaf spring:-

Material:- Plain carbon steel having 0.9 to 1.0% carbon. 

Justification: - The leaves are heat treated after forming processes. The heat treatment of spring steel produces greater strength and therefore greater load capacity, greater range of deflection and better fatigue properties.
