Short answer: Springs use high-yield spring and music wire and stainless for fatigue-critical compression, extension and torsion springs, strip steel and bronze for flat and clip springs, and nickel alloys such as Inconel and Hastelloy for heat and chemical duty, all chosen for yield strength, fatigue life and corrosion resistance.
At a Glance
What Springs Need
Yield strength and fatigue lead the choice, with detail in our Yield Tensile Strength Guide and fatigue notes in our Metal Fatigue Guide; hardness detail is in our Hardness Comparison Guide.
Material by Type
Compression and extension springs use spring and music wire, torsion springs use hardened steel, and flat springs use strip steel or bronze, with the brass basis in our Brass Supplier.
Heat Treatment
Springs are hardened and tempered for high yield, with methods in our Heat Treatment Guide and surface care in our Surface Treatment Guide; corrosion care is in our Corrosion Protection Guide.
Quality and Sourcing
Spring wire and strip are checked by inspection, with methods in our Quality Inspection Guide; buyers confirm grade via our Mill Test Certificate Guide and pack per our Export Packing Guide.
