Nov 1, 2005 6:11am
I got 2 kind of springs : Oil temper wire & Stainless wire...Whick one do your guys think better ? At same grade M100 or M120.

i'd prob go oil temp over stainless. stainless tends to be more brittle just a flaw in the process to make it stainless

I personally use Guarder springs. The oiled tempered ones are said to be softer, less stiff and theoretically remain more consistant over time.

[quote="Bluedragon_asia"]Oil Tempered Wire (OT) .010-.625 This is the workhorse steel spring wire, being used for many applications in which superior strength or uniformity is not crucial. Will not generally change dimensions under heat. Can be plated. Also available in square and rectangular sections.[/quote]
