Stainless Steel Springs

In recent times, the utilization of stainless steel in spring manufacturing has seen a significant rise. This material offers remarkable strength and durability, along with resistance to staining and corrosion, even in demanding environments. Various alloys of stainless steel, including precipitation hardening (PH), martensitic, austenitic, duplex, and ferritic, are employed for spring production. Among these, austenitic and precipitation hardening (PH) stainless steel are predominantly used. HSI is renowned for delivering both standard and customized stainless steel springs across diverse industrial sectors. We offer springs in various stainless steel grades such as 316, 302, and 17-7.

Properties of Stainless Steel Springs

Understanding the properties of different stainless steel grades aids customers in selecting the appropriate springs for their applications:

Grade 316: Known for its exceptional resistance to marine environments, Grade 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, providing enhanced corrosion resistance. It boasts high non-magnetic properties and can withstand temperatures up to 550°F (228°C). Grade 316 is ideal for aggressive environments and finds applications in oil and gas, marine, and refinery industries.

Grade 302: Resistant to temperatures up to 550°F (228°C), Grade 302 stainless steel springs are designed for use in cryogenic environments. They offer excellent corrosion resistance and are utilized in medical, food processing, and dairy applications.

Grade 17-7: With a higher temperature resistance of up to 650°F (343°C), Grade 17-7 stainless steel springs are suitable for extreme environments. This grade exhibits superior strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for applications in petrochemical, chemical processing, and automotive industries.
