Small Springs Applications
Small springs are used in a wide array of applications and assemblies such as in appliances, electronic devices, medical equipment, and much more. The materials commonly used for small springs include music wire, stainless steel (types 302, 304, 316), spring brass, and phosphor bronze. When manufacturing small springs, these types of materials are used in spring tempered form. The tempering process involves the cold extrusion of wire to increase its strength and diminish the need to harden the spring once wound.
The type of material used to manufacture small springs depends on the specific user requirements. Most medical devices are made out of stainless steels because stainless is corrosion resistant and less magnetic than other spring steel. Phosphor bronze is commonly used in electrical applications since it conducts electricity.
