Stainless Steel Helical Springs

Find stock and custom helical springs made of stainless steel. In our stock compression spring catalog, you can select from over 6,500 stainless steel springs. We also carry stainless steel conical springs. Although the conical spring catalog is smaller it also offers a wide selection to meet your needs. Custom stainless steel springs can also be made to fit your application's requirements more specifically.

There are three types of stainless steel:

Stainless Steel 302 ASTM A313
Stainless Steel 17-7 ASTM A313
Stainless Steel 316 ASTM A316

Stainless Steel 302

stainless steel 302 helical springs

This type of stainless steel is the most economical. It is made up of Chromium (Cr) and Nickel (Ni) so it is corrosion resistant and will not rust in humid environments. This material can bear temperatures as high as 550ºF (288ºC). It is used for general purpose, corrosion, and heat resistance.

Material	AISI 302/304 ASTM A 313
Nominal Analysis	Cr-17.0-19.0% Ni-8.0-10.0%
Minimum Tensile Strength	125-325
Modulus of Elasticy E psi x 10 ³	28
Design Stress % Minimum Tensile	30-40
Modulus in Torsion G psi x 106	10
Maximum Temp.°:F	550º
Maximum Temp. °C	288º
Rockwell Hardness	C35-45
Method of Manufacture	Cold drawn.
Chief Uses	General purpose,corrosion and heat resistant.
Special Propeterties	Magnetic in spring temper.

Stainless Steel 17-7

stainless steel 17-7 helical springs

This material type is a bit more expensive than 302 but it does give you more as well. It is made from Chromium (Cr) and Nickel (Ni) like stainless 302 but 17-7 has aluminum as well. These material properties allow this wire type to have more corrosion resistance.

Material	17-7 PH ASTM A 313 (631)
Nominal Analysis	Cr-16.0-18.0% Ni-6.5-7.5% Al-.75-1.5%
Minimum Tensile Strength	Cond CH 235-335
Modulus of Elasticy E psi x 10 ³	29.5
Design Stress % Minimum Tensile	45
Modulus in Torsion G psi x 106	11
Maximum Temp.°:F	650º
Maximum Temp. °C	343º
Rockwell Hardness	C38-57
Method of Manufacture	Cold drawn & precipitation hardened after fabrication.
Chief Uses	High strengh and general purpose corrosion resistance.
Special Propeterties	Slightly magnetic in spring temper.

Stainless Steel 316

stainless steel 316 helical springs

This particular stainless steel type has similar pricing to 17-7 but it is more extravagant and there is a very limited supply which can boost up the prices from time to time. Stainless 316 is made from Chromium (Co), Nickel (Ni), and Molybdenum (Mo). Thanks to these properties, This material can resist temperatures as high as 650ºF (343ºC) and is 90% non-magnetic.

Material	AISI 316 ASTM A 313 (631)
Nominal Analysis	Cr-16.0-18.0% Ni-10.0-14.0% Mo-2.0-3.0%
Minimum Tensile Strength	110-245
Modulus of Elasticy E psi x 10 ³	28
Design Stress % Minimum Tensile	40
Modulus in Torsion G psi x 106	10
Maximum Temp.°:F	550º
Maximum Temp. °C	288º
Rockwell Hardness	C35-45
Method of Manufacture	Cold drawn.
Chief Uses	Heat resistant and better corrosion resistance than 302.
Special Propeterties	90% Non-Magnetic in spring temper.
