High or low carbon steel for flashlight springs?

Are the springs in flashlights high or low carbon steel?

Thank you,

If you just concentrate on the fact that they are springs, Stephanie, and ignore the "flashlight" aspect, you can do a search on "springs" or, better, "spring steel" and you'll get a good understanding of what kind of steel is required for springs, and why. Good luck with your project
