Definitions

  • spiral springs are also centered on the concern of thermal compensation, so as to ensure regular chronometric performance. This requires a thermoelastic coefficient close to zero. Spiral springs with limited sensitivity to magnetic fields are also desired.
  • E is the Young's modulus of the spiral spring, and in this formula, E, ⁇ and ⁇ are expressed in ° C -1 .
  • the heat treatment is carried out for a period of between 1 hour and 15 hours at a temperature between 350 ° C and 700 ° C. More preferably, the heat treatment is carried out for a period of between 5 hours and 10 hours at a temperature between 350 ° C and 600 ° C. Even more preferentially, the heat treatment is carried out for a period of between 3 hours and 6 hours at a temperature of between 400 ° C. and 500 ° C.
  • the ductile material preferably copper, is thus deposited at a given moment to facilitate the shaping of the wire by drawing and drawing, so that there remains a thickness preferably between 1 and 500 microns on the wire with a total diameter of 0.2 to 1 millimeter.
  • the method of the invention may comprise, after the deformation step, a step of removing said surface layer of ductile material.
  • the ductile material is removed once all deformation processing operations have been performed, i.e. after the last rolling, prior to strapping.
