A specialised carbon steel strip rolled in coil form to high tempers and tight tolerances of width and thickness texture rolled carbon strip constitutes part of our uniquely varied product range.
The manufacturing route of this highly specialised spring steel involves a unique heat treatment facility designed to produce a very carefully controlled metallurgical structure that is cold rolled with very high reductions. This operation produces extreme grain orientation and a pronounced crystallographic texture that leads to superb spring properties.
The major application for texture rolled strip is the production of coil springs that operate with a controlled torque and where a high fatigue strength is required.
The main uses are as retractor springs for applications varying from automotive seat belts to domestic appliances, dog leads and starter motors.
