Value Collection 31976145 Steel Coil Grade 1095 Blue Tempered

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31976145 is a blue tempered spring steel coil used in fabrication, tooling, and mechanical assembly applications. The coil measures 0.018 inches thick and 0.125 inches wide, running 620 feet in length. It is manufactured from Grade 1095 high-carbon steel with a blue temper finish, which provides consistent hardness and spring-back characteristics across the full length of the coil. Machinists, toolmakers, and industrial maintenance technicians use this material for producing flat springs, shims, retaining clips, and precision stampings. The blue temper treatment indicates a controlled heat process that relieves internal stress and establishes uniform temper throughout the strip.

This coil is suited for shop fabrication environments where consistent material properties and tight dimensional tolerances are required. Typical applications include producing custom flat springs, clock springs, feeler-gauge stock, and thin retaining elements in light mechanical assemblies. The narrow 0.125-inch width makes it well suited for small-profile components where wider strip stock would require additional slitting. Industrial maintenance shops and precision machine shops are the most common end users of this format and grade.

Key Features

• Grade 1095 high-carbon spring steel with blue temper finish for consistent hardness and elasticity
• 0.018-inch thickness provides thin, flexible strip stock suitable for flat spring and shim applications
0.125-inch width eliminates the need for slitting in narrow-component fabrication
• 620-foot coil length reduces splice frequency in continuous-feed production operations
• Blue temper treatment indicates stress-relieved, uniformly hardened material across the full coil

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spring steel strip coil for use in fabrication, tooling, and mechanical maintenance applications where Grade 1095 blue tempered material is specified.

Installation Notes

This material is handled and cut by machinists and toolmakers using appropriate metal-working equipment such as shears, slitting tools, or precision saws rated for hardened high-carbon steel. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled strip stock, as edges and the free end of the coil can present a laceration hazard. Secure the coil before releasing tension to prevent uncontrolled unspooling. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and equipment manufacturer guidelines when cutting or forming hardened spring steel.
