Abstract:
A valve diaphragm processed by cold working a small concentric region of one surface has a permanent axisymmetric deformation. The deformed diaphragm can be used in a manner which causes continual elastic compression loading of the diaphragm material. The loading of the deformed diaphragm provides a valve restoring spring force and simultaneously defeats diaphragm tendency toward exhibiting hysteresis. The restoring force provided by the diaphragm can also lessen actuator hysteresis.

Claim (Index 18):
The valve diaphragm of  claim 17 , wherein a thickness of the valve diaphragm is reduced between 5% and 20% in the strain hardened region of the valve diaphragm.
