Stainless Spring Wire

Stainless spring wire is a metal wire specially manufactured for spring production. Its most prominent features include high tensile strength, excellent elasticity, and superior fatigue resistance.

It is produced from stainless steel wire rods or steel bars through cold drawing, tempering, and heat treatment processes.

Wanzhi Steel supplies a full range of material grades. Besides conventional grades, we also provide 17-7 PH stainless spring wire and ASTM A313 standard spring wire, with multiple hardness tempers including soft, half-hard and full-hard.

Introduction to Main Material Grades

301 Stainless Steel Spring Wire

It offers mild corrosion resistance, inferior to 304. Ideal for dry environments with strict strength & elasticity requirements and tight cost budgets.

302 Stainless Steel Spring Wire

General-purpose baseline spring wire. Better anti-rust performance than 301, high work hardening degree and outstanding elasticity at an affordable price, widely used for general spring applications.

304 stainless steel spring wire

304 stainless steel spring wire

304 Stainless Steel Spring Wire

The most versatile anti-corrosion spring wire. Resists atmospheric and fresh water corrosion with non-magnetic property, delivering the best cost-performance ratio.

316 Stainless Steel Spring Wire

Specially designed for marine or chloride-rich environments, maintaining stable anti-oxidation performance under harsh corrosive conditions.

310S (2520) Stainless Steel Spring Wire

High-temperature resistant grade. Retains stable corrosion resistance under long-term high-temperature exposure, with maximum working temperature up to 1200℃.

17-7 PH Stainless Steel Spring Wire (631)

Top choice for high-precision premium springs, balancing ultra-high tensile strength and perfect elasticity. It is a precipitation-hardening stainless spring wire.

Two Product Surface Types

1. Bright Polished Stainless Spring Wire

Mirror-smooth surface free of oxide scale with high surface finish. Ideal for decorative parts and precision electronic spring components.

2. Pickled Matte Stainless Spring Wire

Uniform matte finish after acid pickling with low light reflection, perfectly suited for industrial mechanical springs without mirror appearance requirements.

Production Process Flow

Hot Rolling → Annealing → Pickling → Cold Drawing → Intermediate Annealing → Fine Drawing → Spring Tempering & Setting.
All stainless spring wire complies with ASTM A313 / ASTM A313M international standards. ASTM A313 spring wire is the most widely specified industry standard for overseas procurement, which rigorously controls tensile strength, rebound performance, dimensional tolerance and surface finish of wire products.

FAQs

1. What is the difference between stainless spring wire and ordinary stainless steel wire?

Ordinary stainless steel wire only undergoes basic drawing treatment without high rebound and anti-fatigue properties. Stainless spring wire adds a tempering & setting step, granting superior elastic performance.

2. Can we customize straight spring wire?

Yes. We can cut straight spring wire to any custom length as required, eliminating secondary cutting work for clients. Coiled, spooled and close-wound stainless wire are also available.

3. Can the wire be used in high-temperature environments without brittle cracking?

For high-temperature applications, we recommend 310S (2520) stainless spring wire, which resists oxidation and maintains stable elasticity at high temperatures.
