At Airedale Springs, our focus is on delivering high-quality industrial springs and wire forms tailored to your exact requirements. Using premium materials like nickel alloy to ensure exceptional performance and reliability in every spring we produce.
What Makes Nickel Alloy a Popular Choice for Spring Manufacturing?
Nickel is a versatile material that can be easily combined with other metals, including iron, chromium, and copper to produce nickel alloys which are a popular choice for spring material. The properties and benefits of this material will be dependent on the exact proportions of the alloy, but in general, here are some key features that make nickel alloys well suited to spring manufacturing:
- They are resistant to corrosion and oxidation, so they’re ideal for environments with exposure to water or moisture.
- They have a high temperature resistance, making them valuable in a range of industries that use high or frequent amounts of heat.
- Nickel can also maintain its strength in incredibly cold temperatures – perfect for applications incorporating refrigerated or frozen elements.
- It’s tough and ductile. Nickel alloys often step in when stainless steel does not meet the demands of the application.
- Nickel alloys are non-magnetic, allowing them to be used in indicating instruments and gyroscopes.
Nickel Alloy Springs for Commercial and Industrial Applications
Nickel alloy springs excel in the marine industry, where corrosion resistance is crucial to maintaining high performance in harsh environments. Additionally, nickel alloys containing elements like cobalt or chromium are often preferred over stainless steel due to their superior ductility and resistance to wear and tear.
Thanks to their outstanding durability and reliability, nickel alloy springs are a popular choice for use in challenging environments, such as within the gas and oil industry, where materials are exposed to extreme conditions and must perform consistently under stress.
Nickel combined with cobalt is widely used in the medical industry due to its excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance.
Our Expertise in Nickel Alloy Spring Manufacturing
We can help advise you when it comes to selecting the correct spring material for your application. Whether you need a compression spring, torsion spring, tension spring or flat clip, our experienced engineers can assist you with your design and material choice to optimise the performance of your spring part.
Custom Nickel Alloy Springs Manufactured Sustainably
Here at Airedale springs, we not only strive to bring you the highest quality springs made from the best materials, but we want to achieve this as sustainably as we can. All Nickel Alloy materials are 100% recyclable, and our energy comes from 100% renewable sources, including generation from our own PV panels, which with the assistance of our substantial onsite battery storage, allows us to operate off-grid for up to 6 hours per day. We use high quality materials to optimise the durability and maximise the life of our springs, thus reducing scrap and the need for regular replacement.
If you’re interested in constructing your springs using the incredibly effective nickel alloy material, then please get in touch and we can help you begin this journey.
