Stainless steel wire for springs

Our stainless steel spring wire is produced using the cutting-edge manufacturing technologies we have accrued over many years, and is suitable to a variety of applications.

General JIS Grade

Suzuki-Sumiden stainless steel spring wire is made with the advanced manufacturing technology that we have cultivated over many years. Although our primary focus is on springs for automobile parts, we also make spring wire for office automation and communication equipment, and even household goods such as hairpins. Our stainless steel wire is used as a spring material in many fields, earning high marks for quality and reliability.

According to the agreement between the parties to deliver, the tensile strength of a test specimen of SUS631J1-WPC wire should be more than 250 N/mm2 after precipitation hardening heat treatment (470°C ±10°C, air cooling after heating for one hour).
Remarks 1.
Wire diameter in the middle should be larger than the specified value.
Remarks 2.
Variation in tensile strength from one coil to another should, in principle, be within 1/2 of the range in the above table.

High strength

We achieve tensile strength higher than SUS304-WPB, which is representative of typical stainless steel spring wire, and offer a lineup that meets the diverse needs of our customers.

EX-SUS

This is a high strength stainless steel wire with strength equivalent to type A piano wire before tempering, and to type B piano wire after adjustment for tempering.
Various grades of wire can be processed into springs, from lower strength wire (offering advantages in workability) to high strength wire (with advantages in spring characteristics and durability). We also employ a wide range of tempering temperatures, according to the intended application.

Nonmagnetic

SSS130M

SSS130M is a super nonmagnetic stainless steel wire with magnetic permeability of less than 1.01, even after extensive processing. Typically, austenitic stainless steel wire used for springs has magnetism when worked cold, but this product removes those limitations.

Product symbol Wire diameter [mm] Tensile strength [N/mm2] Permeability [µ]
SSS130M 1.00〜4.20 (less than) 1960〜2210 less than 1.01
