6. Materials
The most interesting materials for making springs are those that can store the maximum amount of energy per unit volume (or mass).
Depending on what has been determined at 3 , these materials therefore offer the best compromise between the highest possible maximum permissible stress and the lowest modulus of elasticity. Springs whose shape is obtained by plastic deformation (steel coil springs, for example) require that the material also has a significant plastic deformation...
