Specialized Custom Materials Guide for Custom Clips

The core differences between stainless steel and carbon/spring steel stamped clamps lie in their material properties. They mainly diverge in composition, mechanical performance, cost, and typical applications. A detailed comparison is outlined below:

Stainless Steel Clips

1.Core material: Made of stainless steel, typically SUS301 SUS316 or 304 stainless steel for springs, containing alloying elements such as chromium (≥10.5%) and nickel.

2.Performance characteristics:Corrosion Resistance: Excellent rust prevention in humid or harsh environments, ensuring a longer service life.
Mechanical Properties: Provides stable elasticity, good resilience, and high fatigue strength, suitable for high-temperature applications.

Sanitary & Corrosion-Resistant Applications：
Food Processing & Medical: Moisture-resistant clips that withstand frequent washing, sanitization, and strict hygiene standards.
Outdoor & Marine: Stainless steel clamps engineered to resist rust in high-humidity or harsh atmospheric conditions.Heavy-Duty Industrial & Mechanical：
Automotive & Electronics: High-tension spring clips designed for secure wiring harnesses and vibration-heavy assemblies.Industrial Equipment: Durable, fatigue-resistant clamps capable of handling continuous mechanical loads and mild chemical exposure.Commercial & Everyday Hardware ：
Office & Storage: Cost-effective fastening clips for long-lasting binders, furniture, and household fixtures.

Carbon & Spring Steel

1.Core material:The main components are iron and carbon, with low alloy content. Common grades include 65Mn and SK5

2.Performance characteristics:

High Hardness & Tension: Provides excellent spring-back and structural strength.
Highly Economical: Keeps your bulk production costs low thanks to affordable raw materials.
Customizable Protection: Easily paired with anti-rust surface treatments to ensure lasting durability in any environment.

3.Typical Applications:

Operating Environment: Best suited for dry, moderate-load environments.

Cost-Sensitive Production: An economical choice for high-volume, mass-produced hardware.

Product Types: Small to medium spring clamps and internal mechanical retaining clips.

How To Choose The Right Surface Treatment For Custom Carbon & Spring Steel Clips

We not only provide custom metal stamping services,But also rust-proofing surface treatments for carbon steel and spring steel clipsPlease carefully read the advantages and disadvantages of the following surface treatments and choose the surface treatment solution that best suits your needs.

1.Electrophoresis：Electrophoretic surface treatment can prevent carbon steel and spring steel clips from rusting, extend the service life of the clips, and also allows for customization in various colors.

3.Dacromet:This surface treatment is ideal for parts used in harsh, corrosive environments. It can withstand continuous high temperatures above 300°C and 1000-1500 hours without developing red rust. If your custom carbon steel and spring steel require strong corrosion resistance, this is a good surface treatment option.

2.Zinc Plating：This treatment is suitable for carbon steel clips,But we do not recommend it for spring steel clips,Because it may cause cracking or delayed brittle fracture,Thus affecting elasticity.

4.Black Oxide:The oxide film from the blackening surface treatment is relatively thin, so it won’t affect dimensions. This surface treatment has a very low processing cost, but its rust-proofing effect is average. We do not recommend using blackened carbon steel and spring steel clips outdoors or in humid environments.
