Spring Steel
is a class of steel alloys which are typically heat-treated to optimize their spring-like properties. Spring Steel is ideal for making springs and suspensions often used in the construction, automobile, and aerospace industries.Properties
- High yield strength
- Self-protective
- Easily formed and machined
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Excellent impact resistance
Applications
- Helical springs
- Flat springs
- Snap springs
- Lock springs
- Lock washers
Types of Spring Steel
- High Carbon Spring Steel: Inexpensive, easily formed, and widely available. Commonly used to make springs.
- Alloy Spring Steel: Better heat resistance than high carbon spring steel. Used for shock and impact loadings.
- Stainless Spring Steel: Pristine surface finish and highly resistant to heat and corrosion. Often used to make aircraft components and auto body trim.
Machining Options
Waterjet Cutting
Waterjets mainly cut sheet material into 2D parts using a high-pressure stream of water and abrasive. Waterjet cutting is suitable for most materials and yields clean edges.
EDM
Die-Sink and Wire EDM machines create parts by using recurring sparks to remove material. Recommended for intricate designs requiring sharp inside corners and high dimensional accuracy.
Laser Cutting
Laser cutting is often used to produce 2D parts from sheet metal. A laser beam vaporizes a cut path to achieve the desired shape. Great for prototypes and short runs.
Plasma Cutting
CNC Plasma Cutters use a high-velocity stream of ionized gas to cut parts out of sheet metal. Excellent for producing 2D parts when working with thick metal sheets.
Secondary Manufacturing
After manufacturing, parts may require additional processing. Secondary services include CNC bending, grinding, tapping, knurling and more.
