Music Wire is made from various components. These include Carbon (C) and Manganese (Mn). It is able to withstand up to 250º Fahrenheit and 121º Celsius. It has a higher tensile strength than stainless steel for it is a harder material type. Music wire compression springs are to be used in neutral environments without corrosion and with a room temperature lower than the previously stated. In case you may need for them to resist some corrosion, there is the option of having them plated. Take a look at the properties of different material types by clicking here.
