	Description
	51HFA steel is used: for the production of wire rod, ribbon used for the manufacture of heavy-loaded critical parts, which are requirements of high fatigue strength; heat-treated wire diameter 1.2−5.5 mm, intended for the production of cylindrical compression springs.
Note
Steel spring alloy of high quality.
