Chrome Vanadium - ASTM A 231 - Spring Wire Properties
Spring Materials (../../materials.aspx) > Alloy Steels (../steel_alloy_spring_wire.aspx)
The alloy spring steels have a definite place in the field of spring materials (../../materials.aspx), 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
(../../materials.aspx) are not regularly stocked in a wide variety of sizes.
