If you make the wire diameter larger, you will make the spring stronger and if you make it smaller, you will make it weaker. This is because, by making the wire diameter larger, you are also making the spring's coils tighter which reduces the spring index.
How do you increase the stiffness of a coil spring?
If you lower the amount of coils, you'll increase the spring stiffness which is the spring's rate. If you adjust the outer diameter or the wire diameter, you will affect spring's force and stiffness as well.
How do you make a spring less stiff?
Heating the spring will only soften the metal not give you a softer spring,the only way to achieve a softer spring within the same overall dimensions is to use a smaller gauge wire.Jun 6, 2015

How strong is high tensile wire?
High tensile wire equates to a high carbon content, and will not stretch as much as low carbon wires. Typically used exclusively in barbed wire, 15 gauge high tensile wire is only going to stretch 1.5-2%, and will break at about 550 lbs., making barbed wire break at 1,100 lbs.

How far apart should h braces be?
Double H Brace Pull Assemblies: Double H Brace pull assemblies are required in straight fence spans at a maximum spacing of 660 feet. Brace wire shall be high tensile, galvanized steel, or 9 gauge soft wire. Adjoining Fences: A fence adjoining an existing fence must terminate in a brace assembly as required above.
How thick is high tensile wire?
Class 3 galvanized coating high tensile wire 1.6 - 4.0mm. Composed of high carbon steel, high tensile wire has increased strength and reduced elongation. It can avoid stretching and drooping. With medium and heavy zinc coating on surface, high tensile wire can resist corrosion and rust.
Which is thicker 9 gauge or 12 gauge?
The higher the gauge number the smaller (thinner) the wire diameter. ... 9 Gauge is the most common wire sized used for both residential and commercial applications.
