Heat treatment
		
		
    - after the forming process of the spring the tensile strength can be increased by heat treatment.
 
    - the heat treatment also smoothes out the tensions of the forming process.
 
    - the DIN recommendation reaches from annealing at 250°C for 24 hours to 450°C for 30 minutes; cooling down by air.
 
    - the maximum possible temperature of usage is between 120°C and 250°C
    (dependent upon load).
