Elastic Guest, Romans were capable of making steel springs for locks but apart from Rudolf Schneider's and Chevedden's claims Romans never used such metal springs to power their artillery.
Steel bows first reappeared in high medieval ages for crossbows but we should mentions that there was a strange catapult with two huge steel bows, used for projecting stones called Einarm.
Here, a good bunch of information about that strange machine.
