Specifications

Capabilities

At Springfield Spring & Stamping, small Wire Forms are no problem—wire diameters can range from .008″ to .135″ (.201 to 3.4 mm).

We work with a large range of materials, including music wire, brass and stainless steel. Quality finishes range from manganese phosphate to passivation to powder coated. 

Stainless Steel Wire Forming is Often Chosen For:

• High levels of flexibility and malleability
• Durability
• Superior tensile strength
• High temperature resistance
• Corrosion resistance
• Washing or passivation resistance
• Long-lasting
• Wide usefulness range

Stainless steel wire forming is often selected when the component will be used in a harsh environment, with exposure to high temperatures, moisture and chemicals. Industries including food processing, medical equipment, medical devices, agriculture, industrial controls, automotive, lighting and aerospace commonly employ stainless steel when reliability and long-term functionality is crucial.
