Manufacturing Process of Stainless Steel Spring Wire

The manufacturing process of spring steel wire involves several key steps to achieve the desired properties. Here is a simplified overview of the typical manufacturing process:

Selection of steel grade: The manufacturer carefully selects the appropriate steel grade based on the intended application and desired mechanical properties of the wire.

Hot rolling: The selected steel is heated to a high temperature and passed through a series of rolling mills to reduce its thickness and shape it into long, flat strips.

Annealing: To enhance the wire's flexibility and improve its internal structure, the rolled strips are subjected to an annealing process, which involves heating them and then slowly cooling them in a controlled manner.

Drawing: The annealed strips are then drawn through a series of dies to reduce their thickness and increase their length. This drawing process also refines the wire's surface finish and further improves its mechanical properties.

Tempering: After drawing, the wire is heat-treated through a tempering process. This step helps relieve any internal stresses in the wire, further improving its elasticity and toughness.

Surface treatment: Depending on the application, the spring steel wire may undergo additional surface treatments, such as galvanizing or coating, to enhance its corrosion resistance or provide specific functionalities.
