What are the raw materials used in tension springs:
Usually the production of tension springs requires the use of metal wire, the most commonly used raw material being steel wire. The wire can be made from different materials of steel. The following are some of the common materials used for wire:1. ordinary carbon steel, such as SWC, SWPB, SWOC, etc., is the general choice for making tension springs, which are less costly, have moderate mechanical strength and are generally used at temperatures of up to 120°C.2. Alloy steels, such as 60Si2Mn, 55CrSi, etc., have higher mechanical strength and modulus of elasticity and are suitable for applications where higher strength and fatigue resistance are required.3. stainless steels, such as 304, 316, etc., with good corrosion and heat resistance, suitable for applications where corrosion resistance is required.4. Spring steel wire, such as SUS304-WPB, SUS316-WPB, etc. This wire is specifically designed for making tension springs and has excellent mechanical properties and shape memory effect, suitable for high precision applications.The appropriate steel wire material needs to be selected for the specific application scenario and elastic force required to make the tension spring.
