Chrome Silicon Springs – Suitable For Highly Dynamic Applications

Owing to its high tensile strength and resilience to high temperatures, chrome silicon is the first choice of material when it comes to fabricating springs. Chrome Silicon springs are cold drawn and heat treated before fabricating. These springs are widely used for shock loads and/or moderately elevated temperatures. SMSC provides an array of different types of springs to choose from based on your requirements.

Benefits of Using Chrome Silicon for Your Spring

In recent years, there has been a huge demand for chrome silicon spring material. The reasons for this increased demand are:

• It is highly resistant to wear and tear even after repeated usage.
• It can tolerate a wide temperature range. It has temperature resistance up to 50 °F, which makes it the perfect choice to manufacture springs used to assemble engine valves, and fuel equipment.
• It is cold drawn and heat treated. This makes it extremely strong and durable.
• It possesses high tensile strength, hence can withstand shock loads, and stress. Due to this trait, the material is preferred in the assembly of gun recoils and performance vehicles.
