High Carbon Spring Tempering Steel Wire Description

Mainly Divided Into Three Categories:

Hard pull spring steel wire: Also known as HDMB spring wire, it is a cost-effective choice for many general-purpose applications. The carbon content ranges from 0.45 to 0.85 percent. Since it is usually not heat-treated after drawing, it has high strength and medium toughness. It is available in a variety of diameters and is manufactured in accordance with ASTM A227 (uncoated finish) and ASTM A764 (galvanized finish).

Oil tempered spring steel wire: Also known as OTMB spring steel wire, it is an excellent general-purpose spring steel wire with improved performance compared to hard drawing. The carbon content ranges from 0.55 to 0.85 percent. After drawing, the oil-tempered wire rod is subjected to heat treatment and controlled cooling in an oil bath to increase its toughness while maintaining high tensile strength. This makes it particularly suitable for applications requiring high impact resistance or a large number of deflection cycles. Oil tempered spring steel wire is available in a variety of diameters and is manufactured in accordance with ASTM A229. This grade does not provide a galvanized finish.

Music spring high quality steel wire: Also known as music wire or piano wire, it is a very high quality steel wire suitable for demanding applications. The carbon content ranges from 0.70 to 1.00 percent. The music wire is heat treated after drawing to relieve stress and toughen the wire while maintaining high tensile strength. The strings are typically 0.250 inches or less in diameter and are manufactured in accordance with ASTM A228. It has a variety of surface treatments to choose from, such as bright, phosphate, tin and zinc.

Scope of Application

High Carbon Spring Tempering Steel Wire known for high strength and hardness, often used in manufacturing high-strength wires for industrial purposes, springs, and specialty applications like piano wires.
