Spring steel wires
Which wire for which application
Gutekunst Federn uses a wide variety of spring steel wires to manufacture compression springs, tension springs, torsion springs and bent wire parts.
In addition to the standard spring steel EN 10270-1 SH and DH, the dynamically demanding valve spring wire VDSiCr (Oteva 70) and the corrosion-resistant stainless steel grades 1.4310, 1.4401 and 1.4568, the non-magnetic spring bronze CuSn6 and the copper-beryllium spring steel CuB2 are also used, as well as the heat-resistant spring steel grades Nimonic 90, Inconel X-750 and Hastelloy C4. Descriptions of these and other materials and their detailed properties, such as the strength (RM), maximum operating temperature, modulus of elasticity and G-modulus, as well as the density, specific electrical resistance and price ratio of the spring materials presented can be found on the company's blog page. For more information on spring steel wires or which spring steel wire is suitable for which spring, please contact Gutekunst's technical department. am
