The perfor mance of our most impor tant gr ades for different proper ties is
illustr ated above . Sandvik 12R10/12R11
is used as a base of compar ison.
Moving away from the centre , along
the desired axis indicates proper ty
improvement by steel gr ade , e .g.
Sandvik SAF 2507 is the most
cor rosion resistant gr ade . Except for
for mability and as-delivered tensile
strength compar ison has been made
for the mater ials in the tempered
condition. Temper ing is made by the
customer.

for continuous thickness measurement
and adjustment for process control. This
results in thickness tolerances superior

Flatness
Straightness
The figure to the right shows how deviation from straightness is defined. The
values in the table refer to slit strip and
give the deviation from straightness for a
length of 1 metre. The Sandvik standard
finish is R1.
Deviations can be determined for other
lengths using the following formula ;
a = b x L2
where
a = the sought for deviation
from straightness in mm for
a given length, L, in m.
b = deviation from straightness
according to the table

Bright surface
Bright drawn wire has a surface covered
with a very thin oil film.
Mechanical polishing of lubricated wire
meets the standards for a clean, bright
surface which are often set for stainless
springs not only for appearance but also
for hygiene.
A suitable lubricant should be added
in spring coiling, except for the smallest
wire diameters.

Forms of supply
Strip
Strip material can be delivered in the
following forms:
Wire
Wire is supplied in quantities and delivery forms adapted to customer requirements. We supply coils, spools and
straightened lengths in quantities of a few
kilograms up to units weighing up to one
ton. See brochures S-2120 and S-2180
for details.
