• Microscopic dimensional accuracy (±0.001mm tolerance) ensured by laser diameter monitoring during production, guaranteeing consistent spring performance
• Excellent corrosion resistance in atmospheric, fresh water, and mild industrial environments, with passivation options available
• High electrical conductivity (7 MS/m) that makes it suitable for electromechanical components requiring both mechanical and electrical functionality
• Customizable annealing options (380 - 450°C) to tailor elasticity and ductility for specific load requirements
• Uniform grain structure achieved through controlled cooling, reducing risk of fatigue failure under repeated stress
Widely utilized in electrical connectors for automotive and aerospace systems, precision switches in industrial control panels, automotive sensors for engine management, and medical device springs in diagnostic equipment. It is particularly critical for applications requiring long-term fatigue resistance, such as relay contacts in power distribution systems and diaphragm valves in fluid control mechanisms .
