Default Rookie Mistake

Recently purchased an ultra sonic cleaner from a large concern. Mixed up a batch of Simple Green and water 50/50. Inserted a Parker frame and 2 sidelocks from an English hammer gun. Ran 2 cycles of 180 seconds with heat. Let them soak awhile, then pulled and scrubbed with toothbrush. Did one more 180 second cycle with heat and let them soak for the night. Sometime during the night I think I heard a loud snap. Next morning gave one more 180 second bath. When I pulled parts out Parker frame looked great but both hammer springs were broken on the English gun. What happened? Will attempt pictures but have new computer.
