New challenges for high performance spring in critical aerospace application

William Hughes has been manufacturing precision, high specification springs for many years, and is well equipped to meet the exacting demands of the aerospace industry including its special requirements for materials, specifications, manufacturing tolerances, cleanliness and packaging.

Optimising industrial spring life – material selection a critical factor

Optimising industrial spring life – material selection a critical factor

It is taken for granted that both customer and manufacturer want the maximum life for the product. A spring manufacturer like Goss has to consider the sheer extremes of the demands on the application which in turn will influence design of the component, the material selected and the manufacturing process.
