Bert,
I have no real expertise in metallurgy, especially with spring steel. In
most cases of hammering or bending one gets a condition of "work hardening".
This condition usually results in a premature yield failure of the material.
I'm hoping someone else on our list can address this case in particular????

I am restoring my springs for my BN2 as new ones currently available are
reported to sag after 1-2 years. I finished 1 spring about month ago and I
am close to finish the second one. At the same time I am also re-arching
using the hotrodders method.
