Stress Releave Springs
Hi all --- I need to build some springs to repair a car lock -- I under stand if I use a spring and re form / bend it to the required shape to make the new spring, I need to stress releave it --- Some spring will be Stainless Springs and some Spring Steel --- Can any one tell me some different technics of doing this, and the temperature's needed to achieve this ---Thanks

could I melt some lead and put the reformed spring onto the molten lead -- what ease ways are there of telling the temperature of the lead---
