Broken ram springs

I have a dozen wolf masters and 8 have snapped since last spring until now.
Not heated, painted, dyed, waxed, rusted or damaged in any way

My second 12 are perfect and not one has broken

Any ideas what’s happening?
Talked to the guy who sold them to me new and he blames nfg Chinese steel.

Did you guys ease your springs for storage or leave them set?

Mine were still armed. Was also told by the guy who sold them that it didn’t matter if they were armed or not. “They come armed” was his response to my question of storage

Mine were left set as well.

If springs are breaking they have been tempered to hard.
Cycling a spring will weaken it more than leaving it under tension.
