SWO-A Form of delivery

Oil hardened and tempered wire shall be supplied in coils, on spools or in cut lengths. The wire in coils or on spools shall form one continuous length. Wire in coil may also be supplied on carriers containing one or more coils.

For VD and TD grades no welds are permitted after the heat treatments preceding the final drawing operation; for 'FD' grades no welds shall be made at finished size unless agreed otherwise between the parties.

The supplied wire units shall be tightly bound to ensure that wire spiral waps do not spring out unforeseen. The starting end shall be marked and at the coil ends the wire shall be covered with a protective cap.

Spring steel is an alloy that can withstand intense twisting and bending without becoming distorted. It is resilient and pliable, yet durable, which is perfect for a general use steel. Products made with this alloy can be bent, extended, compressed, or twisted, yet they will return to their original shape. This characteristic is commonly known as high yield strength. Spring steel’s high yield strength is achieved through one of two manufacturing processes: (1) Hardening by heat treatment and (2) Work hardening. There are many different types of spring steel. They may be identified by their steel grade, which is determined by a material’s chemical, physical, and environmental properties. They may also be identified by their application, such as compression, torsion, or tension.

The alloy spring steels have a definite place in spring materials, particularly for conditions involving high stress and for applications where shock or impact loading occurs. Alloy spring steels also can withstand higher and lower temperatures than the high-carbon steels and are obtainable in either the annealed or pre tempered conditions. Note: These materials are not regularly stocked in a wide variety of sizes. Copper-base alloys are important spring materials because of their good electrical properties combined with their excellent resistance to corrosion. Although these materials are more expensive than the high-carbon and the alloy steels, they are frequently used in electrical components and in subzero temperatures.

Spring wire is a product with very specific technology. It has a strong structure and a good balance of flexibility and tensile strength. According to different surface treatments, spring wire can be divided into: Hot-dipped galvanized wire, electro-galvanized spring wire and PVC coated spring wire. In addition, we also provide stainless steel spring. In the mattress industry, spring wire is used to manufacture springs and hoops. In the Springs' industry, spring wire is used to manufacture mechanical springs. For other usages, our products also have gained a good reputation from the appliance as controlling cable or connecting wire for automobile industry and hard needle.

Oil tempered wire is widely used for springs that require extremely high resistance to fatigue, heat, and permanent set in fatigue, including the valve springs of the engine, clutch springs, and suspension springs that are considered important security parts of automobiles. Our group's high-quality oil tempered wire has a large share in both domestic and overseas markets. Oil tempered wire is created through the process of oil tempering. Oil tempering is a process in which the wire is heated to extreme heats. The wire is then cooled with oil. This process strengthens the wire without making it brittle. Because oil tempered wire is strong yet flexible, it is used for springs. Oil tempered springs are often found in the automotive industry.

oil hardened and tempered spring steel wire made from unalloyed or alloyed steels. They are primarily subject to torsional stresses such as in compression and extension springs and in special cases also for applications where the spring wire is subject to bending stresses such as lever springs. As a rule unalloyed steels are used for applications at room temperature whereas alloyed steels are generally used at a temperature above room temperature. Alloyed steels may also be chosen for above average tensile strengths.

SWO-A Oil hardened and tempered spring steel wire Classification

The grade for normal applications made from unalloyed or alloyed steel has the abbreviation FD and is intended for static applications.

Spring steel wire for medium fatigue levels, such as required for some clutch springs from unailoyed or alloyed steel, has the abbreviation TD.

Spring steel wire from unalloyed steel or alloyed steel intended for use under severe dynamic duty such as for valve springs or other springs with similar requirements has the abbreviation VD.

Medium and high fatigue grades TD and VD are characterized by high steel cleanliness, specific chemical, mechanical and technological parameters and a well defined surface condition in relation to the allowable depth of surface defects and decarburization.

The static grade FD is characterized by its chemical, mechanical and technological characteristics as well as by a specified surface condition concerning surface defects and decarburization.
