What is spring tempered stainless steel?
301 spring tempered stainless strip and slit coil is a desired alloy for constant force springs and other applications where high tensile strength and corrosion resistance is needed.
Can you get stainless spring steel?
Stainless spring steels are classified as austenitic stainless steel. Due to their good balance of mechanical properties, they are the most widely used type of steel. In addition, as it is also possible to increase their hardness by rolling, they can be used as spring parts.
What grade of steel is spring steel?
Grades
| SAE grade (ASTM grade) | Composition | Hardness (HRC) |
|---|---|---|
| Typical | ||
| 1080 (A228) | 0.7–1.0% C, 0.2–0.6% Mn, 0.1–0.3% Si | |
| 1095 (A684) | 0.90–1.03% C, 0.30–0.50% Mn, max. 0.030% P, max. 0.035% S | 48–51 |
| 5160 (A689) | 0.55–0.65% C, 0.75–1.00% Mn, 0.70–0.90% Cr |
What does spring tempered mean?
: a temper induced in steel to increase its upper limit of elasticity by hardening and tempering in the ordinary way and then reheating until the steel assumes a bright blue color also : a similar temper produced in brass by an extreme amount of cold rolling.
What metals make good springs?
Materials Used for Springs
- Low-Alloy Steel. Low alloy steels are ferrous metals often considered superior to carbon steels in many ways, though it always depends on the intended use.
- Cold Drawn Wire.
- Oil Tempered Spring Wire.
