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.
