Key Points of the Stainless Steel Spring Wire
All of the stainless steel spring wire produced by Fasten is manufactured according to EN-10270-3, ASTM, JIS WPB, JIS WPA, and WPC specifications. We have the production capabilities to provide customers with custom specifications.
Applications
Springs are most commonly produced from 302/304 stainless steel wire due to its excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Type 316 is recommended for springs with additional requirements in regards to corrosive exposure and because of its non-magnetic properties. The mechanical properties of this type of steel are not as strong or durable as 302/304 however. Type 631J1/631 steel is used for heat resistant spring production and high tensile strength after they undergo a heat treatment process.
