Soccerstudd5 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Ok, so I have a school project to do some modeling statically and dynamically and I chose to do a leaf spring pack, but can't seem to find anywhere what can't of material it's made out of. I did find one place that mentioned 5160 steel, but soilidworks doesn't have that material. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks all....

Precise1 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Do a google search for custom knife makers, their favorite stock is old leaf springs, saw blades and files. I'm sure you can get some info quickly... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
