MATERIALS & SURFACES
C60S
Material 1.1211
per DIN EN 10132-4
Carbon spring steel used in original SCHNORR® family of safety washers and load washer per DIN 6796.
Ref: SAE 1060
C67S/C75S
Material 1.1231/Material 1.1248
per DIN EN 10132-4
Carbon spring steel used in DIN EN 16983 (Formerly DIN2093) disc springs with a thickness of less than 1.25 mm and for our "K" disc springs.
Ref: SAE 1075
51CRV4
Material Nr. 1.8159
per DIN EN 10132-4
or DIN 10089
Chromium-vanadium alloyed stainless steel is used in rolled form for disc springs with a thickness between 1.25 mm and 6mm. For disc springs greater than 6mm, this material is used in a forged form.
Ref: SAE 6150
SPECIAL MATERIALS
Chrome-nickel alloy steel is available up to a thickness of 3.0 mm. The cold forming process makes it magnetic.
Ref: AISI 301
CORROSION RESISTANT
X10
Material Nr. 1.4310
per DIN EN 10151
Precipitation-hardened spring steel is available in thicknesses up to approx. 2.5 mm. The cold-forming process makes this material magnetic.
CORROSION RESISTANT
Ref: AISI 631/ 17-7 PH
X7
Material Nr. 1.4568
per DIN EN 10151
Austenitic stainless steel with higher corrosion resistance and lower magnetizability than the above mentioned materials. Used in the original SCHNORR® family of corrosion-resistant serrated safety washers.
CORROSION RESISTANT
Ref: AISI 304
X5
Material Nr. 1.4301
per DIN EN 10151
Chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel is effective for high-temperature applications (500 deg C).
HEAT RESISTANT
X22
Material Nr. 1.4923
per DIN EN 10263
A copper alloy with tin. Spring characteristics are due to cold forming. Please note that the strength values and the spring forces resulting from it are considerably lower than with the standard material. Used in original SCHNORR® family of non-magnetic serrated safety washers.
CORROSION RESISTANT & NON MAGNETIC
Bronze
(CuSn8)
Material 2.1030
per DIN EN 1654
Nickel-Chromium alloy with excellent corrosion resistance suitable for very high-temperature applications (600C). A potential creeping under load might lead to a loss of installation height or loss of force of the disc spring. This creeping will happen as a result from exposure to temperature, time and tension.
HEAT RESISTANT WITH GOOD CORROSION RESISTANCE
Inconel X718
Material 2.4668
SURFACES
Phosphating
A standard process generally applied for disc springs made of low-alloy steels. A zinc phosphate layer is produced on the surface, which is then impregnated with corrosion-protection oil. In most cases, the protection achieved in this way is sufficient. No additional protection is required if the springs are installed with weather protection.
Mechanical
Zinc
The parts being treated are moved into a barrel together with peening materials, e.g. glass beads, a promoter and powdered zinc. This powder deposits on the surface and is compacted by the peening material. This produces a uniform, non-glare coating, which subsequently can be chromatized in a similar way as electroplating. The usual layer thickness is 8 μm, however, thicknesses of up to 40 μm are possible.
Geomet
An inorganic, metallic silver-gray coating made of zinc and aluminum flakes. The parts are suitable with barrel or rack plating. Afterwards, the coating is baked into the surface. Disc springs coated with this process show excellent resistance in salt spray tests.
Zinc
Flake
An inorganic, metallic silver-gray coating made of zinc and aluminum flakes. The parts are suitable with barrel or rack plating. Afterwards, the coating is baked into the surface. Disc springs coated with this process show excellent resistance in salt spray tests.
Zinc
Flake720h
A micro-layer forming an inorganic zinc/aluminum flake base coating, which is bound to the base material by an inorganic binder. Components made of (for example) high-strength steels are kept safe from
corrosion by the cathodic protection of the zinc flake coating.
