The following copper alloys CuSn6 and CuBe2 are non-magnetic and have very good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. For special stresses and properties, such as non-magnetic and increased corrosion resistance, heat resistance or Insensitivity to cold , special spring steel wires are used for the manufacture of the Compression springs , Tension springs , Leg springs and wire bending parts are used. It should be noted that the tensile strenght This special spring steel wire often does not come close to the values of the standard spring steel wire and is lower Spring forces achieve. Spring steel is commonly used in the manufacture of swords with rounded edges for training [12] or stage combat, [13] as well as sharpened swords for collectors and live combat.

Oil tempered spring steel wire is produced from Silicon Chrome spring steel. These are alloys that have been developed for applications that require high stress, and for higher/lower temperatures than more standard carbon steels can withstand. 3 Different Qualities of Oil Tempered Spring Steel Wire Applications include piano wire (also known as [11] music wire) such as ASTM A228 (0.80–0.95% carbon), spring clamps, antennas, springs (e. g. vehicle coil springs or leaf springs), and s-tines. The VDSiCr is used for springs subject to high dynamic loads such as B. used for valve springs and clutch springs. is widely used in the automotive, chemical and petrochemical, food, mechanical engineering, drive technology and electronic equipment industries.CuSn6 is often used in the electrical, paper, pulp, textile and chemical industries as well as in shipbuilding, machine and apparatus engineering. is suitable for the most common compression springs, tension springs, leg springs and bent wire parts with and without surface treatment. Typically Avocet Precision Metals supply oil tempered spring steel wire in 3 different qualities, all to the European norm EN 10270-2, that are specified by our customers depending on their application. FD quality is usually used in static spring applications such as suspension springs, whereas TD is used in moderate fatigue stress environments. VD quality is chosen for high fatigue stress applications such as valve springs. Valve spring applications may also require Superclean and Shaved material which we can offer on request, as well as Eddy Current Testing. CuBe2 is a low-alloy copper-beryllium spring steel with higher strength, good conductivity and good mechanical properties. The spring steel made of copper beryllium CuBe2 has good resistance to cold and is therefore suitable for extremely low temperatures close to absolute zero.

Tubular spring steel is used in the landing gear of some small aircraft due to its ability to absorb the impact of landing. Nimonic 90 is widely used in the air and Space industry , used for high temperature springs and in thermal processes. Over the past few years we have developed a hybrid approach to the supply of spring wire. Using our modern manufacturing machinery, we are able to offer short delivery times to bridge the delivery gap on imports from our carefully selected, high quality, global suppliers. This approach offers our customers speed of delivery and ultimate value. a b c Oberg, Erik, and F D. Jones. Machinery's Handbook. 15th ed. New York: The Industrial Press, 1956. 1546–1551. Print.

Assistance in choosing the right spring steel wire

Due to its special mechanical properties, this material 1.4310 is the classic among stainless spring steels and is often used in the manufacture of corrosion-resistant metal springs. Since this stainless spring steel 1.4310 is easy to magnetize due to cold deformation, this material is not suitable for completely non-magnetic springs. Find sources: "Spring steel"– news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR ( March 2009) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Spring steel wires have a high tensile strength and a high elastic limit. This is made possible by the modulus of elasticity (Modulus of elasticity). To help in the manufacture of cold-formed Compression springs , Tension springs , Leg springs and bent wire parts to avoid overloading or breaks, the spring steel wires must have a very good plastic deformation capacity, which is why most spring steel wires are only heat-treated after the forming technique. Many grades of steel can be hardened and tempered to increase elasticity and resist deformation; however, some steels are inherently more elastic than others:

Inconel X-750 is used in the aerospace industry, reactor technology, high-temperature springs, components in gas turbines and thermal processes. Hastelloy C4 is often used for spring components in inorganic chemicals, in the fertilizer industry, in waste incineration plants, in chlorination plants and in the production of acetic acid.This section needs additional citations for verification.
