Choosing the right spring steel is important for product performance and service life. C100S En 65Mn staal are two common options, but many customers are not clear about their differences.

In this article, we will explain:

• What is C100S spring steel
• What is 65Mn spring steel
• C100S vs 65Mn: properties comparison
• Applications of C100S and 65Mn spring steel
• How to choose between C100S and 65Mn

1. What is C100S Spring Steel?

C100S steel is a high-carbon spring steel grade with excellent tensile strength, high elasticity, and superior fatigue resistance. It features stable performance under heavy load and long-term repeated stress, making it ideal for high-performance springs, automotive parts, clutch springs, and precision elastic components.

We supply C100S steel in strips, wires, flat bars, and customized sizes with strict quality control and competitive factory price.

2. What is 65Mn Spring Steel?

65Mn steel is a cost-effective manganese spring steel widely used in general industrial applications. It offers good elasticity, acceptable strength, great machinability, and easy processing. Suitable for medium-load springs, spring washers, circlips, agricultural machinery parts, and hardware components.

Our 65Mn steel provides stable quality, complete specifications, and fast delivery for global wholesale buyers.

3. C100S vs 65Mn: Which is Better?

There is no universal answer to which material is better. C100S En 65Mn staal products are designed for different working conditions and requirements.

C100S is better for:

• High strength and high fatigue resistance
• Heavy-duty and long-life applications
• High-performance springs and precision parts

65Mn is better for:

• Cost-effective projects
• Easy processing and mass production
• General-purpose medium-load components
