Music Wire Spring Material Properties

Cited properties are appropriate for the cold worked strain hardened condition.

Music wire spring material properties. High quality springs and wire forms subject to high stresses or requiring good fatigue properties. Music wire is the toughest and most widely used of all spring materials for small springs. This material is widely used for helical compression extension and torsion springs in a wide range of applications especially in the finer wire diameters. Materials music wire.

Tensile properties modulus in torsion g. Materials finishes and plating. This high quality high carbon spring wire is the most common and readily available today. Acxess spring has been a leading manufacturer of quality springs for over 20 years.

High tensile strength and uniform mechanical properties. K08500 is the uns number. It is a high carbon spring steel and it is the most commonly used. It has the highest tensile strength among wrought carbon or non alloy steels.

Spring materials ace wire spring form company inc. M s spring company s music wire springs meet astm a228 standards. Music wire is made from steel with high carbon content. Music wire is cold drawn.

Music wire is straightened hardened spring steel wire. It is pulled through a die to form a thin wire in a process known as cold. Lee spring offers both stock springs and springs made to specifications in many material options. Astm a228 is the defining standard for this material.

Spring steel music wire ams 5112 uns k08500. It has the highest tensile strength and can withstand higher stresses under repeated loading than any other spring material. Music wire is cold drawn and it has a high and uniform tensile. Music wire springs can withstand high load stresses compared to other materials which makes this material best suited for cyclic applications.

It offers uniform tensile strength which when coupled with a good wire spring design will offer many thousands of cycles of spring life. Astm a228 music wire is a carbon non alloy steel formulated for primary forming into wrought products. Wire spring which is manufactured using music wire. Although this material is versatile it s not recommended for service temperatures above 250 f 121 c.
