ASTM A228, A229 CS Wire
75 Reviews
Product Description:
ASTM A228 and ASTM A229 carbon steel wires are high-performance spring steel wires designed for applications requiring superior strength, elasticity, and fatigue resistance. ASTM A228, also known as music wire, is a high-carbon steel wire commonly used for precision springs and high-stress components due to its excellent tensile strength and uniformity. ASTM A229 offers slightly higher strength and hardness, making it ideal for heavy-duty springs and mechanical components subjected to high loads and stresses.
