Metal Spring Material Types

The term "Spring Steel" covers a wide range of material options, each suited for specific applications and performance requirements. At Spring Engineers, we offer an extensive selection of metal spring materials types to help you achieve the right balance of strength, durability, and cost.

Wire Shapes & Strip Options

Your design isn’t limited to round wire. We stock and work with:

• Round, square, flat, rectangular, and custom-shaped wire
• Metal strip in a variety of tempers, from annealed to full hard
• Strip edges including normal mill edge, round edge, square edge, and slit & de-burred

Coatings & Finishes

Standard raw material is bare wire, but we also maintain a wide selection of in-stock coated materials to provide added protection and performance. Available coatings include zinc, cadmium, tin, nickel, copper, galvanized, and silver options, each offering enhanced corrosion resistance, improved wear performance, and increased longevity in demanding or specialized environments.
