RAW MATERIALS
The raw materials used in the manufacturing of a product depend on two factors: the sustainability and the application. We believe in using materials that reduce environmental threat and meet the criteria of the customers.
We, at Accurate, ensure that above-mentioned materials used in the manufacturing of various products are of IS Standard.
The constituent materials for spring manufacturing can be broadly categorized into 5 groups – high carbon spring steel, alloy spring steel, stainless steel, phosphor bronze, and copper base alloys.
Spring steel wire (IS 4454)
There are basic 4 grades given to steel wire used for making springs.
- Grade 2 &3 are most commonly used in India for making springs.
- Grade 4 has very high accuracy in physical &chemical parameters.
Valve spring wires
- Automotive applications for engine valves, pump, etc. where high fatigue life is required.
Alloyed steel wire-(Silicon Chrome)
- Used for springs which are subject to “high static and dynamic loading” Raw Materials
Stainless steel wire-AISI 302/304/
- Have less magnetic properties
- Resistant to corrosion
- High elasticity
- Resistant to heat
- Used in electrical and related industries
Copper base alloy – used in high electrical & thermal conductivity
- Non-magnetic
- Good atmosphere resistance is required
- Phosphor bronze wires due to high tensile strength are most widely used copper alloys for manufacturing springs
- Resistant to heat
- The bare copper wire is coated with polyester enamel to make it non-conductive
