Spring Steel Alloys

Most springs are made with these types of metals:

High Carbon Spring Steel - Most common for springs - low cost, easily worked, wide availability. Not recommended for high or low temperature applications or for shock or impact loading.

Alloy Spring Steel - Used for high stress and shock or impact loadings. Can withstand a wider temperature range than high carbon spring steel.

Stainless Spring Steel - Some alloys allow temperatures up to 288°C. Corrosion resistant but only 18-8 is recommended for sub-zero temperatures.

Copper Base Spring Alloys - More expensive than steels but often used in electrical components due to good conductivity and corrosion resistance. Suitable for sub-zero temperatures.

Nickel Base Spring Alloys - Corrosion resistant and can withstand a wide temperature range. Non-magnetic but relatively high electrical resistance.

Some popular alloys:
  • Music Wire - ASTM A228
  • Oil-Tempered MB Grade - ASTM A229
  • Oil-Tempered HB Grade - SAE 1080
  • Hard-Drawn MB Grade - ASTM A227
  • Cold-Rolled Spring Steel, Blue-Tempered or Annealed - SAE 1074, 1064, 1070
  • Cold-Rolled Spring Steel, Blue-Tempered Clock Steel - SAE 1095
  • Chromium Vanadium - ASTM A231
  • Chromium Silicon - ASTM A401

"This is my first time using CAD software and in a few minutes I designed what I needed. The software is extremely easy to use. What a great tool. It took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to draw what I need. The ability to change tooling, materials, etc. and reprice so quickly is amazing. Also most companies I contacted would not even respond ..."
