HDMB Spring Steel Wire



Hard Drawn Spring Steel Wire (HDMB) has a carbon content > 0.5%.  Because of the higher carbon content and manufacturing process of spring steel, this material is stronger and suitable for parts subjected to high stress and/or frequent stress repetitions.  We produce Class I, Class II, Class III spring steel wire and music wire in our Henderson, KY location.

Taubensee’s careful selection of steel rod grades and cold drawing to finished size under controlled conditions, combine to produce spring wire capable of withstanding the functional stresses inherent in spring production and use.

We are always available to discuss your spring wire specifications and needs to help you choose a type of spring wire best suited for your application to give you the highest performance, reliability and long life in your product.
