What is Spring Wire?
Spring Wire is precision-engineered wire designed for elastic deformation and recovery, allowing it to return to its original shape after being stretched, compressed, or twisted. It is the primary material used to manufacture springs and load-bearing components, where consistent mechanical performance and fatigue resistance are critical. Central Wire produces high-performance spring wire optimized für durability, strength, and repeatable performance under cyclic stress.
