What are The Benefits and Uses of Stainless Steel Springs?

Stainless steel is perhaps the most popular alloy used to create industrial springs. Metal chromium in the steel provides a medium to high yield strength, allowing it to return to its original shape despite various twists and bends. Generally, there are certain types of steel that are commonly used for stainless spring manufacturing:


  • 302 Type Steel: This type consists of a higher carbon count than Type 304, which is the most used steel type. While the carbon gives it better strength, Type 302 has the flexibility to be machined and welded into many types of stainless steel springs.
