Spring steel & spring steel strip

Spring steel is used in the manufacture of technical springs. The material has optimum mechanical properties in terms of formability combined with high strength and toughness. Ideal for long-lasting use of technical springs.

Spring steel has ideal properties for springs and tensioning elements, so that these Stable on the one hand and elastic on the other are. The material and components made from this material have high strength, but can also be deformed up to a certain stress. They then return to their original shape when the load is released. Spring steel can be stretched very far until it breaks or permanently changes its shape.

There are different spring steels for different applications depending on the use and load. The steels differ, for example, in their strength (RM), elasticity, density, operating temperature, specific electrical resistance and conductivity.

Standard spring steel
Suitable for technical springs with and without surface treatment

Dynamically highly stressed spring steel for best continuous stroke strength
Suitable for heavily stressed springs

Corrosion-resistant spring steel types (see Austenitic steel)
Suitable for non-corroding or hardly corroding springs

Non-magnetic and corrosion-resistant spring steel
Suitable for technical springs with very good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance

Heat-resistant spring steel grades with very good corrosion resistance
Suitable for heat-resistant springs with optimum heat resistance and good resistance to corrosion and oxidation

Low-temperature spring steels
Suitable for springs with insensitivity to cold and high corrosion resistance

Special spring steel wires
Suitable for technical springs with special properties such as heat resistance or insensitivity to cold, increased corrosion resistance, etc.

In order to avoid overloading in the production of technical springs, most spring steels are only heat-treated after the forming process. Heat treatment increases elasticity, strength and resistance to wear and reduces the risk of overstressing. Fatigue of springs.

Technical springs are used in a wide range of industries such as automotive, mechanical engineering, electronics, electrics, chemicals and petrochemicals, medicine and aerospace. Depending on the application and stress on the springs First-class spring steel strip in various designs and grades required.
