HC Spring Steel Wire is a High Carbon Spring steel wire manufactured from high carbon steel rods. This spring steel is also called Black wire. These are round-shaped, flat wires. The main property of high carbon steel is that they are vulnerable to heat which makes it possible to be transformed into different shapes as per your wishes.
This steel is very hard to weld because of the reasons mentioned above and has great tensile strength. HC steel wire production plays a vital role in several industries, from construction to automobiles and mechanical industries too.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES of HC Spring Steel Wire
❖ The electrical resistance (cold drawn) (typical): (ohm-cm@ 32° F,): 0.0000163 - 0.0000180
❖ Thermal Conductivity (typical): BTU-in/hr-ft2-°F: 346
❖Mean Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (typical): µin/in-°F: 68 - 212 °F: 6.11 - 6.67
❖ Typical Density: 7.85 - 8.03 g/cm3
❖ Modulus of Elasticity: KSI 29.7 x 103
❖Melting Temperature: (1425 - 1540 °C)
Mechanical properties
❖ High tensile strength- The maximum stress that can be applied before the material breaks.
❖ Casting can be done easily as it is not susceptible to heat, so it can be melted and given any shape or form wanted. It can also bend easily and elongate as desired.
❖ Torsion breaking load- It has a high torsion breaking load and can be twisted to a maximum point before breaking.
Applications of HC Spring Steel Wire
High carbon spring steel wire has a lot of applications in very basic things of regular life. As discussed earlier, it serves many different industries. It is a very important material because of its mechanical strength like tensile strength. Because of its physical and mechanical properties, it can be utilized in several ways.
Some of the common applications are as follows: -
❖ Bedding and seating high carbon steel wires are used for making pocket springs, helical springs, and border frames, etc for bedding and seating.
❖ Automotive cables: Every automobile like car and truck have these automotive cables. Specifically inner and outer cables.
❖ Conveyor belts These are used in conveyor transport such as escalators and also in self-unloading bulk freighters.
❖ Hose reinforcement: These steel spring hoses are used for suction and discharge of liquids or solids such as water, oil, and powdery substances.
❖ Lacing wire and mattress spring
❖ Cables and wire ropes
❖ High-performance mechanical spring
Ending with
Hence, High Carbon Steel Spring wire is brought into play because of its useful properties and traits. This is one of the best materials which can fulfill your purposes without any issue.
