NiCr A286 Alloy Spring

Material Type: NiCr A286
Material Group: Stainless Steel Wire

NiCr A286 Springs Description:

Cold drawn and precipitation hardened, NiCr A286 stainless steel springs offer excellent corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures. This Nickel-Chromium alloy with the addition of aluminum to give outstanding resistance to oxidation and other forms of high temperature corrosion with the ability to maintain high mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. A286 springs are used in high strength applications in temperatures up to 950°F (510°C).

NiCr A286 Material Properties:

  • Excellent stability against oxidation when exposed to elevated heat
  • Corrosion resistant at extreme high and low temperatures
  • Beneficial non-magnetic characteristics
  • Maximum operation temperature up to 950°F (510°C)

Spring Engineers designs and manufactures custom NiCr A286 material springs, including compression, extension, and torsion springs, built to meet specific engineering and performance requirements.
