From full-sized F-250s to pint-sized Geo Trackers and everything in between, coil springs have revolutionized the ride quality and suspension performance of 4x vehicles for decades. Though your ...

Take a steel rod, wrap it into a spiral shape, throw some engineered heat-treating in the mix, and you've got yourself a coil spring. That spring can be used as part of your suspension to support the ...

Spring technology for damping is relatively old. Stagecoaches had leaf springs, early trains had large, crude, coil-spring buffers (to absorb shocks when cars bumped together) and early automobiles ...

Induction heating uniformity problems can cause a number of issues with part quality. Frequently, we see these issues due to irregular heating patterns, as a result of unusual part shape or ...

Automotive design has come a long way since Karl Benz designed the Patent Motorwagen in the late 1800s, and Henry Ford brought the T-4 powered Model T to the masses in 1908. Those early cars were ...

Big, innovative breakthroughs often result in game-changing technologies. Smaller incremental improvements in essential material components can similarly lead to significant performance and efficiency ...
