You did let it cool naturally I take it? If so it could just have been a natural weak part of the spring.
Needid to reduce a springs length today.
Used my dremil to cut to desired length ,heated until red closed end coil .
Used the dremil to flatten the end carefully then a file over the whole base coil to get a flat even base before using stone and wet n dry before a pollish up
Using the file the spring broke on the coil bellow.
Never happened before, I'm sure the process was correct .
Why did it break ?. Was a used spring looked fine ,no big bend

Better to admit you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room
Probably cracked when it was overly long, was it a OX spring as these seem to readily crack due to the
square section localising stresses .
