High-carbon spring steels are the most commonly used of all
springs materials.
Try to use these materials in preference to others because that are least expensive,
readily available, easily worked, and most popular. These materials are not satisfactory
for high or low temperatures or for shock or impact loading.
Method of Manufacture Chief Uses Special Properties
Music Wire is cold drawn, and it has a high and uniform tensile. Music Wire is the toughest and most widely used of all spring materials for small springs. It has the highest tensile strength and can withstand higher stresses under repeated loading than any other spring material.
