Music wire is one of the best, toughest, and most widely used materials for small springs. It has one of the highest tensile strengths and can withstand higher stresses under repeated loading than other spring materials. The fatigue life of music wire is excellent. It is not recommended for...

Type 302 stainless steel wire is a general purpose stainless alloy typically composed of 18% chromium and 8% nickel. It is the most widely used stainless spring wire because of its high corrosion resistance properties and good tensile strength. For spring applications it is generally furnished in...

The most frequently used grade of the Carbon Steels, C1008 low carbon strip has a carbon content of .08-.10%. The material is not corrosion resistant but is ideal for low strength parts that require forming, welding or machinability. Gibbs supplies material in the 4 numbers hard condition...

Alloy 510 phosphor bronze strip, ASTM B 103, offers excellent corrosion resistance and good strength and electrical conductivity. Gibbs stocks Grade A phosphor bronze in spring temper (8#'s hard) in the B 92-98 Rockwell range. Gibbs stocks gauge ranges from 0.006" - 0.031"

Type 301 stainless strip, ASTMA-666, is slightly lower in chromium and nickel content than Type 302. The lower nickel content causes Type 301 to work harden more rapidly and retain greater ductility than the same temper of Type 302. Gibbs stocks 301 Stainless Strip in gauges from 0.0022" to 0.050"...
