I am making a double torsion spring out of music wire. I am using .041 and another one rom .029.
I wrapped the springs using wire right off the spool and it formed nicely, I placed it in my home oven at 550 for a half hour and
It kinda worked but lost some of the tension when I tried it out. I made another and this time I heated it up to the critical temperature and quenched in water and now need to heat it to 750 F to properly temper it.
I am attempting to make a small oven by using a single burner hot plate and inverting an insulated flower pot over it.
Has anyone on the forum aver tried this or have a quick DIY solution for the job?
