A plain spring steel wire form covering the everyday bent-wire components that go into equipment, furniture and consumer products. It is the baseline specification: standard material, standard process, priced for volume.
Standard spring steel with a standard plating covers the majority of wire form requirements at the lowest cost.
Wire from 0.1 to 8 mm, bent to whatever shape the application needs.
Automatic forming machines make repeat quantities far cheaper than any hand bending operation.
State whether the part must spring back or simply hold its formed shape. That single distinction decides the material and heat treatment more than any dimension does.
Hand-bent wire parts costing more in labour than a machine-formed part costs outright
Inconsistent parts that slow down downstream assembly
Dimensional and load figures are set per order against your drawing or sample, so they are marked TBC rather than filled with catalogue numbers.

Available in Stainless steel, Spring steel, Carbon steel, 65Mn, Music wire, in wire from 0.1-8 mm, with any of our nine surface finishing routes. Geometry, end treatment and finish are all specified per order.
ISO 9001, SGS certificate and RoHS report (stated on the legacy site, certificates pending re-confirmation). Certificate copies are sent on request once re-confirmed.
Against the 65Mn version of the same part, standard spring steel is cheaper and has a shorter fatigue life. Choose by how often the part flexes.
Tell us your quantity and we will tell you honestly. The threshold is lower than most people expect, because the programme, not tooling, carries the setup.
It depends on whether the part has to spring back or simply hold a shape. We advise at quoting.
Nothing is automatic. Tell us the environment and we will recommend from the nine finishing routes available.
Send your drawing, dimensions or a sample. We will confirm the specification and come back with a price and a lead time.
