Introducción
Rolling shutter springs are essential components in industrial, comercial, y aplicaciones residenciales, asegurar un funcionamiento suave y durabilidad. Sin embargo, their performance heavily relies on the quality of the steel strip used. Choosing the wrong material can lead to premature failure, safety risks, and increased costs. In this guide, we break down the key considerations for selecting thebest steel strip for shutter springs, backed by Jiaxiao MTC’s 20+ years of expertise in high-performance steel manufacturing.
1. Critical Properties for Shutter Spring Steel Strips
To withstand repeated bending and heavy loads, shutter spring steel strips must meet stringent criteria:
A. Dureza & Resistencia a la tracción
- Optimal Hardness Range: 30–55 HRC (Rockwell C Scale) ensures a balance between flexibility and strength.
- Resistencia a la tracción: Correlates with hardness (see table below). Para muelles de persiana, aim for 1,500–2,100 N/mm² to resist deformation.
| Dureza (CDH) | Resistencia a la tracción (N/mm²) | Application Suitability |
|---|---|---|
| 30–40 | 1,000–1,500 | Light-duty shutters |
| 40–50 | 1,500–2,000 | Commercial/Industrial |
| 50–55 | 2,000–2,100 | Heavy machinery |

B. Espesor & Width Tolerance
- Rango de grosor: 0.1–5.0 mm (personalizable). Para muelles de persiana, 1.0–2.0mm is common.
- Tight Tolerances: Ensure uniformity (p.ej., ±0.20mm for widths <50milímetros).
(Refer to Page 8 for detailed tolerance charts.)
C. Edge Finish & Flatness
- Slit or Rounded Edges: Prevent stress concentration and cracking.
- Flatness Tolerance: ≤0.1% deviation (Class P4) to avoid coil-set issues.
2. Grados de materiales: Which Steel is Best?
Jiaxiao MTC recommends the following grades for shutter springs:
A. High Carbon Spring Steel (C67S, C75S, C80)
- Ventajas: High yield strength, excellent fatigue resistance.
- Chemistry: 0.64–0.82% carbon, low impurities (PAG, S ≤0.035%).
- Aplicaciones: Ideal for high-cycle shutters in harsh environments.
B. Acero aleado (50CrV4, 60Si2Mn)
- Ventajas: Enhanced toughness, resistencia a la corrosión.
- Chemistry: Cromo (cr) and Silicon (Y) for durability.
- Aplicaciones: Coastal or humid regions with salt exposure.
3. Production Processes Matter
Jiaxiao MTC’s advanced manufacturing ensures superior performance:
A. Laminado en frío & Recocido
- Achieves precise thickness and smooth surfaces.
- Bright Annealing: Prevents decarbonization, retains material integrity (Página 4).
B. Temple & Templado
- Endurecimiento: Heated to 850–950°C, then rapidly cooled.
- Templado: Reheated to 400–600°C to reduce brittleness (Página 5).
C. Deburring & Tratamiento de bordes
- Eliminates micro-cracks, ensuring long-term flexibility.
4. Estudio de caso: Solving Spring Failure in Industrial Shutters
A European manufacturer faced frequent spring fractures in heavy-duty warehouse shutters. By switching to Jiaxiao MTC’sC75S steel strips (1.20mm thickness, 48–50 HRC), they achieved:
- 30% longer lifespan
- Zero fractures after 2+ years of use
5. FAQs: Answering Common Queries
Q1: How do I test steel strip durability?
- Conduct Rockwell hardness tests and cyclic bending simulations (Página 16: Lab Testing).
Q2: Can I customize dimensions?
- Sí! Jiaxiao MTC ofrece 0.1–5.0mm thickness y 2–1,250mm width with special tolerances.
Q3: What about corrosion resistance?
- Opt for alloy steels (p.ej., 50CrV4) or request anti-rust oil coating during packing.
