Spring Steel—Strong and resilient, but best suited for dry environments since moisture will cause these springs to rust.

High-Strength Chrome Silicon Steel—The chromium and silicon boost strength and fatigue resistance for high-stress uses, such as suspension systems and stamping presses. However, these springs are best suited for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

Corrosion-Resistant 302 Stainless Steel—Won’t corrode from exposure to moisture and mild chemicals, including ammonia often found in cleaning solutions. These springs are easier to compress than steel, but can’t handle as high a load.

Corrosion-Resistant Conductive Brass—Won’t corrode from moisture and mild chemicals, similar to 302 stainless steel, while offering better conductivity for electrical applications.

Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Our most corrosion-resistant stainless steel springs won't degrade when exposed to salt water and harsh chemicals. They're easier to compress than steel, but can’t handle as high a load.

Highly Corrosion-Resistant Conductive Phosphor Bronze—The top pick when you need both corrosion resistance and conductivity. These springs won't degrade from salt water and harsh chemicals, similar to 316 stainless steel, making them good for marine hardware. Plus, they're conductive enough to use in electrical applications.

Ultra-Corrosion-Resistant Cobalt Nickel—The best choice when you need both corrosion resistance and strength. These springs resist stress corrosion and pitting from salt water and harsh chemicals. Plus, they’re 10% stronger than 316 stainless steel.
