Stainless steel is an ideal material for extension springs and compression springs due to its high tensile strength combined with its inherent anti-corrosion properties. These properties keep springs functioning nominally in high-temperature environments with high load strengths or impact conditions. They also help maintain resistance to fatigue and creep.
Stainless steel wire conforming to NASM20995/ MS20995C / ASTM A580 is available in our extensive inventory in a variety of sizes and spool weights. Custom lengths, shapes, tempers, and conditions available (see data charts).
We conform with all relevant compliance standards (RoHS, REACH, DFARS, MADE IN USA.)
Cold Heading Wire
Cold heading wires are crafted by passing them through a mold to shape them without needing heat. This type of wear is in high demand in the industrial sector due to its cold-heading application, which is ideal for producing bolts and nuts. In contrast, the cold heading wire might seem malleable, yet it retains ductility and endurance, making it versatile for manufacturing fasteners, tie rods, and more.
Cold heading wires are crafted to be industrial grade; hence it has low magnetism and high corrosion resistance. As a result, the tensile strength of the wires remains stable for a prolonged period, which is essential for critical industrial projects. Depending on the needs, it can also be coated with copper, nickel, and other metals.
There is a high demand for the cold heading wire process as the end result is extremely flexible. In addition, it generally reduces the cost of production and offers a higher yield which is certainly advantageous.
