General Specifications of EN 10270-2 Spring Wire

Spring wire manufactured in compliance with the European standard EN 10270-2 is a high-quality alloyed steel product designed for various types of mechanical springs. Produced by cold drawing followed by oil hardening and tempering, the wire provides an optimal combination of strength, elasticity, and fatigue resistance.

Wire diameters are available in different sizes depending on the wire grade and application, enabling its use in springs of different sizes and purposes. The surface of the wire has a light gray color typical of heat-treated steel and is free from scale and significant surface defects.

Mechanical Properties by Wire Grade

Mechanical properties such as tensile strength depend on the wire grade and nominal diameter. EN 10270-2 specifies separate requirements for different wire grades rather than one universal tensile-strength range.

Diameter (mm) Tensile Strength (N/mm²) Elastic Modulus (GPa)
0.50-1.60 1760-2430 206
1.61-3.20 1600-2380 206
3.21-10.0 1400-2200 206
10.1-17.0 1300-1800 206

 

Typical Applications for EN 10270-2 Wire

EN 10270-2 wire is widely used in the following sectors:

  • Automotive industry (valve springs, suspension springs)
  • Mechanical engineering (springs for machinery and equipment)
  • Household appliances
  • Rail transport
  • Agricultural machinery
  • Industrial equipment

Key Properties of Oil-Quenched and Tempered Spring Wire

  • High fatigue strength due to specially formulated chemical composition and heat treatment
  • Consistent mechanical properties along the entire length of the wire
  • Good forming properties for spring manufacturing
  • Long service life in cyclic load conditions
  • Suitable for precision spring manufacturing with controlled dimensional tolerances

Quality Control and Certification Requirements

Each batch undergoes quality control according to the applicable requirements and may be accompanied by an EN 10204 3.1 certificate where specified. Tests include:

  • Chemical composition
  • Mechanical properties
  • Surface quality
  • Geometric parameters

Storage and Transportation Conditions

The wire is supplied in coils or spools and may be wrapped in protective paper or plastic film to help prevent corrosion. It should be stored in dry, closed areas to protect the wire from moisture and corrosion.

This spring wire combines high mechanical properties, stable quality, and versatility, making it suitable for producing durable springs for various applications.
