Ford Plant Tests Steel Springs for Cars
At Ford Highland plant in Truitt, Michigan, four car loads of steel produce 18,000 springs daily as 6011 workers run the line. Before use, samples endure trial springs and 1.85 million pounds of continuous vibration tests to prove strength, with outside “Ford” springs failing after about 20,000 cycles. Once approved, steel is heated to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit and leaves are formed.
