Elgiloy Springs

Elgiloy is a cobalt-based alloy that includes copper, nickel, chromium, and molybdenum. This unique composition allows it to maintain its mechanical properties even in some of the harshest environments, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of spring applications.

Material Properties

High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Elgiloy springs hold significant strength while remaining lightweight, which is crucial for applications where every gram counts.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Unlike many traditional spring materials, Elgiloy offers outstanding resistance to corrosion, including saltwater and acidic environments.
Fatigue Resistance: Springs made from Elgiloy can endure repeated stress and strain without compromising their integrity, leading to increased longevity and reliability in end-use applications.
Temperatures and Heat Resistance: It can maintain its mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for applications that experience heat fluctuations.
Manufacturing Versatility: It can be easily formed into complex shapes and designs, allowing for greater flexibility in spring design without sacrificing performance.

The Cobalt base of Elgiloy provides strength and corrosion resistance, while nickel enhances ductility. Copper improves workability, and chromium and molybdenum increase corrosion resistance and strength.

Uses of Elgiloy Springs

Elgiloy springs are highly valued in various industries due to their remarkable properties, particularly in situations where exposure to harsh environments is common. They are ideal for demanding applications such as:

Aerospace Engineering: Hiving high strength and resistance to corrosion makes it a perfect material for critical components, ensuring reliability in extreme conditions, such as those found in aircraft engines and structural elements.
Medical Devices: Used for devices that are in constant use, such as surgical instruments and implantable devices, benefiting from their biocompatibility and fatigue resistance.
Industrial Machinery: Including oil and gas, chemical processing, and manufacturing. Elgiloy withstands high temperatures and aggressive environments, contributing to the reliability and efficiency of critical components.
