Patrick Manufacturing and its team have been experts in the manufacturing of high volume spring orders since 1984. Stainless steel spring wire is a general-purpose spring wire with good tensile strength and high corrosion resistance. We specialize in stainless steel springs, wire forms, and assemblies for various industries and applications. Our stainless steel wire materials include:
- Stainless Type 302/304 Soap
- Stainless Type 302/304 Nickel Coated
- Stainless Type 316 Soap
- Stainless Type 316 Nickel Coated
- Stainless Type 17/7 Ph Soap
- Stainless Type 17/7 Nickel
Standard Stainless Steel Material Specifications
All of our stainless steel wire materials meet the ASTM Standard Specification for Stainless Steel Spring Wire A-313).
