Abstract
With the use of springback and recovery as dependent variables, the effects of time and temperature of stress relief heat treatment of stainless steel wire were studied. Stainless steel springs exposed to a stress relief heat treatment of 750 F for 11 minutes appear to have significantly improved spring properties.Keywords
