Stainless Steel Spring Wires – High Tensile Strength & High Elasticity

Stainless steel spring wire is a kind of steel wire produced by cold drawing process, and often works as the raw material for producing various kinds of springs. As a professional stainless steel spring wire manufacturer, all our stainless steel spring wires are produced by high quality standards to deliver high tensile strength, high elasticity and fatigue resistance. We supply a wide range of stainless steel spring wires and all our products are manufactured in accordance with JIS and ASTM standards.

A roll of stainless steel spring wire is displayed.

Notes:
a) Range of applicable wire diameter of SUS304-WPBS shall be 0.29 mm to 1.6 mm.
b) In the case of evaluating the tensile strength of SUS631J1-WPC after precipitation hardening treatment upon agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser, the test piece taken from the production shall be heat treated by heating at 470 °C ± 10°C for 1h followed by air cooling, and the increase of tensile strength of the test piece due to this heat treatment shall be not less than 250 N/mm2.
c) The letter "S" at the tail of the symbols indicates wires requiring straightness.
