High Carbon Spring Tempering Steel Wire
High carbon steel is used to make spring tempered carbon steel wire. Commonly used grades of spring steel wire do not have a specific chemical name, such as 1065 or 1080, which is common in other types of high carbon steel products. Rather, they are specified and manufactured according to performance criteria specific to their primary end use, I .e., the manufacture of coil springs. These performance standards allow a range of carbon content, but there are other factors, such as tensile strength and bending/winding tests must be met within the specified range.

High Carbon Spring Tempering Steel Wire Description
High carbon steel is used to make spring tempered carbon steel wire. Commonly used grades of spring steel wire do not have a specific chemical name, such as 1065 or 1080, which is common in other types of high carbon steel products. Rather, they are specified and manufactured according to performance criteria specific to their primary end use, I .e., the manufacture of coil springs. These performance standards allow a range of carbon content, but there are other factors, such as tensile strength and bending/winding tests must be met within the specified range.
Mainly Divided Into Three Categories:
hard pull spring steel wire:Also known as HDMB spring wire, it is a cost-effective choice for many general-purpose applications. The carbon content ranges from 0.45 to 0.85 percent. Since it is usually not heat-treated after drawing, it has high strength and medium toughness. It is available in a variety of diameters and is manufactured in accordance with ASTM A227 (uncoated finish) and ASTM A764 (galvanized finish).
oil tempered spring steel wire:Also known as OTMB spring steel wire, it is an excellent general-purpose spring steel wire with improved performance compared to hard drawing. The carbon content ranges from 0.55 to 0.85 percent. After drawing, the oil-tempered wire rod is subjected to heat treatment and controlled cooling in an oil bath to increase its toughness while maintaining high tensile strength. This makes it particularly suitable for applications requiring high impact resistance or a large number of deflection cycles. Oil tempered spring steel wire is available in a variety of diameters and is manufactured in accordance with ASTM A229. This grade does not provide a galvanized finish.
music spring high quality steel wire:Also known as music wire or piano wire, it is a very high quality steel wire suitable for demanding applications. The carbon content ranges from 0.70 to 1.00 percent. The music wire is heat treated after drawing to relieve stress and toughen the wire while maintaining high tensile strength. The strings are typically 0.250 inches or less in diameter and are manufactured in accordance with ASTM A228. It has a variety of surface treatments to choose from, such as bright, phosphate, tin and zinc.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
Purchasing Manager
"We've been cooperating with Yonggang Steel for three years, and the product quality has always been consistently stable and reliable. Whether it's the tensile strength of the rebar or the dimensional accuracy of the profiles, they fully meet national standards, and some even surpass those of our competitors. Delivery times have never been delayed, especially for urgent orders. The sales team responds 24/7, and logistics are efficient, saving us considerable time and costs. I highly recommend them to any partner who needs high-quality steel!"
Technical Director
"We produce high-precision equipment, and we have high requirements for the material and processing performance of the steel." "Extremely high. Yonggang Steel's technical team customized steel plates with a special alloy ratio according to our needs, solving our long-standing problem of heat treatment deformation. Their professional service and rapid response make them a supplier we can trust long-term!"
Project Manager
"In the Yonggang high-speed rail project, Yonggang Steel provided full-service, one-stop service. From material selection and on-site technical guidance to after-sales testing, dedicated personnel were assigned to each step. Especially during the pandemic, they coordinated resources from multiple parties to ensure supply and maintain project progress. A company like this deserves to thrive!"
Plant Owner
"Even small-batch orders can enjoy VIP treatment! Yonggang Steel's sales team didn't treat our small orders carelessly; instead, they recommended a more material-saving cutting solution based on our processing techniques, helping us reduce material waste by 15%. Transparent pricing and flexible payment terms are incredibly friendly to SMEs!"
Export Trading Manager
"Export orders have strict requirements for material certification and packaging. Yonggang Steel's quality inspection reports are detailed and standardized, and the packaging uses rust-proof treatment and wooden pallets for reinforcement. There was no rust after three months of sea freight. Last year, we exported 3,000 tons of H-beams to Southeast Asia, and the customer had zero complaints during acceptance. This year, we've already increased our order to 8,000 tons!"
