Value Collection 31975840 Steel Coil Grade 1095 Blue Tempered

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31975840 is a blue tempered spring steel coil used in fabrication, tooling, and industrial maintenance applications. Measuring 0.012 inches thick and 3/8 inches wide with a total length of 350 feet, this coil provides a consistent supply of high-carbon spring steel in a single package. Grade 1095 blue tempered steel delivers the hardness, flexibility, and tensile strength required for springs, strapping, shims, and other precision-formed components. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians working in light manufacturing and industrial settings are the primary installers and fabricators of this material.

This steel coil is suited for shop fabrication, repair work, and replacement spring or strap manufacturing. The 350-foot length makes it practical for batch production runs as well as one-off repairs. The 0.012-inch thickness and 3/8-inch width are commonly used in clock springs, flat springs, banding, and precision shim stock applications. The blue temper finish indicates a stress-relief heat treatment that reduces brittleness while maintaining the hardness characteristic of 1095 high-carbon steel.

Key Features

• Grade 1095 blue tempered spring steel for consistent hardness and flexibility
• 0.012 inches thick by 3/8 inches wide cross-section suits fine spring and shim work
• 350-foot coil length supports production runs and reduces mid-job material changes
• Blue temper finish indicates stress-relief heat treatment for reduced brittleness
• Weighs 4.5 pounds — manageable for bench and field use

Compatibility

Designed for general industrial and fabrication use where Grade 1095 blue tempered spring steel in 0.012-inch thickness and 3/8-inch width is specified.

Installation Notes

Spring steel coil should be cut and formed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians using appropriate metal shears, grinders, or forming tools rated for high-carbon steel. Wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when uncoiling or cutting — spring steel under tension can snap back sharply. Avoid kinking the material during uncoiling, as kinks create stress risers that weaken the finished part. Do not weld or heat this material beyond its temper range without engineering guidance, as doing so will alter its hardness properties.
