Best Answer

Definately spring steel can be heat treated and it has to be heat treated before it can be functioned as a spring.

The common way to heat treat spring steel is by quenching and tempering.

How do you make springs?

For helical springs, wind some wire of the correct alloy into shape. For some uses this is all that is needed but for more demanding uses, the metal then has to be heat-treated to change the crystal structure in the steel - changing the structure alters various physical properties of the steel so that you finish with a suitable spring. Other types of spring are made from flat steel plate - such as leaf springs, they aren't wound, but the principles are otherwise the same.
