This paper will quantify the performance that might reasonably be expected from each viable combination of spring wire and surface engineering so that the audience may better appreciate when each might be selected and the approximate costs associated with that selection. The candidate spring materials are, in order of cost, air patented carbon steel, music wire, oil tempered silicon chromium, superclean silicon chromium vanadium, 17/7PH stainless steel, and a beta titanium alloy.
