    Springs are made of a variety of materials including copper and various forms of steel. The most common is high carbon steel as it is cheap, easy to work and a couple of other important properties.

    Copper springs exist as well, but copper is more expensive than steel. However, in an environment where corrosion resistance is important, copper springs are a good alternative.
