EN 10270-1 Grade SM Patented Cold-Drawn Steel Wire for High-Performance Springs
The patented cold drawn steel wire type SM (S-static load M-medium tensile strength) made of unalloyed steel is used for tension springs, compression springs or torsion springs for medium static load or rare dynamic load. The wire will be delivered in rings (standard delivery type), coils or levelled bars. Different surface conditions by arrangement if no arrangements where done, the condition is up to the producer. All surface types can be delivered with oiled surface. More information regarding surface conditions see EN 10270-1. More information regarding surface conditions see EN 10270-1.
