Secondary Spring Wire
High Carbon
Spring wire is used in the manufacture of springs, prominently in automotive industry. This type of wire is generally low-alloy manganese, medium or high-carbon steel, with a very high tensile strength. This allows objects made of spring steel to return to their original shape despite significant pressure or bending.
Most of the spring wire we sell was originally meant for making springs in furniture, and box spring mattresses. In the secondary market we are seeing our customers use this wire for a wide variety of products, including producing hair bobby pins to wire used inside flexible air ducts, to name a few.
