What is Spring Steel and where it is used?

 Spring steel is named to a wide range of steels that is used in the manufacturing of springs used mostly in industrial and automotive suspension appliances. Spring steel flat wire is mostly made up of low-alloy manganese, high carbon steel or medium carbon steel and has very high yield strength. This helps the materials made of spring steel to regain its original shape after significant twisting or deflection.

Spring steel flat wire is general used steel that can be utilized in a wide range of commercial appliances. It is commonly used in the manufacturing of objects like washers, lick picks, springs, saw blades, and scrappers.

Spring steel flat wire start as a round wire which is then die drawn or flattened to meet the requirements via an engineered operation series. Flat wire has burr free edges that enhance close dimensional tolerances. When compared to traditional strip coil, spring steel flat wire comes with continuous coiling with lesser number of welds. It is available with different custom edges like controlled radius, broken corner, square, full and natural round.

Specifications of spring steel wire

·         High tensile strength ranging from 350Mpa – 2500Mpa

·         Product standard is GB4357,DIN17223,JIS G 3521

·         Available with both galvanized and ungalvanized surfaces

·         Finish available in NB, EB, and UB

Features of spring steel wire

·         Good quality of wearing

·         High strength with high bearing capacity

·         Good elasticity

·         Quick heat radiation

Applications of spring steel flat wires

·         The applications include springs, spring clamps, leaf springs, coil springs, s-tines, antennas, and piano wires such as ASTM A228.

·         It is one of the most popular materials that are used in fabrication of lock pits because of its resilience and pliability.

·         It is widely used in knives making.

·         Commonly used in the making of metal swords that is used for stage combats because of its high resistance to snapping, shattering, and bending.

·         It is also used in electrical fishing tapes.

·         It is used in binder clips.

·         Due to its resistance to deformation in low thicknesses, it is used extensively in shims.

Conclusion

Spring steel flat wire is highly recommended for individuals working in motor vehicle industry, oil and gas industry, Pharmaceutical industry, and other engineering applications. It is extremely useful for the applications that need toughness and high strength.
