Springs are a universal solution for a variety of modern products ranging from the high strength performance requirements of heavy equipment and transportation to the rapid flexing and space constraints in electronics and other small objects. Due to the variety of springs used within varying applications, engineering challenges may arise with manufacturers. Central Wire Industries UK has the products to solve these challenges. Our spring wire is manufactured to perform with enough strength, resilience, and environmental resistance in all sizes and applications. Continue reading to learn more about what industries our spring wire is used in and what alloys we produce spring wire in.
Spring Wire Industries: 
- Agriculture: spring wire plays a pivotal role in the agriculture and food processing industries. Spring wire us used for fencing and gates, as well as inside of harvesting equipment. In processing facilities, spring wire is used for conveyor belts, trays and grates, and in building the processing equipment.
- Architecture: stainless steel spring wire is used in the architecture industry because of its durability. Stainless steel not only adds both aesthetic and functional value to architecture, but it can also withstand the challenges of moisture and temperature changes too. Stainless steel stays vibrant overtime, giving structures a continuous new and modern look.
- Marine: due to the corrosive environment of the marine industry, 300 series stainless steel is a common material used for spring wire. Our spring wire is manufactured to withstand the salt and moisture exposure of shoreline and open sea environments.
- Mining: products used in the mining industry need to be able to withstand crushing forces, intense vibration, and heavy weight. CWI UK manufactures stainless steel and nickel spring wire engineered to hold up in these specific conditions. CWI UK is also able to customize our spring wire to fit the needs of specific mining applications.
- Nuclear: CWI UK spring wire is used in critical nuclear applications that have harsh conditions. Due to exposure to high heat and corrosives, we recommend using Inconel® or Nitronic series nickel alloys, which are manufactured to withstand these conditions without failure.
- Oil and Gas: Oil and gas applications have very challenging work conditions, so it is imperative that the spring wire used in these industries is able to meet the work demands necessary. In these industries, high-strength alloys are preferred, including 300 series stainless steel.
- Petrochemical: customized spring wire is common in the petrochemical industry because of varying environments. Whether working in small spaces to capture contaminants and particles or working in larger spaces to handle large volumes of liquid, CWI UK can manufacture custom spring wire to fit your exact specifications.
Central Wire UK manufactures spring wire in standard and specialty alloys from 300 and 400 series stainless steel to X750 and high Nickel Inconel® and Monel grades. We have a highly knowledgeable metallurgical team that can assist you with any questions you may have, as well as offer material solutions for your application.
