Value Collection 31976152 Steel Coil Grade 1095 Blue Tempered

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31976152 is a Grade 1095 blue tempered spring steel coil used in fabrication, tooling, and mechanical assembly applications. The coil measures 0.018 inches thick and 0.5 inches wide, with a total length of 210 feet, making it well suited for high-volume cutting, bending, and forming operations. Grade 1095 is a high-carbon spring steel known for its hardness, tensile strength, and fatigue resistance after heat treatment. The blue tempered finish indicates the steel has been heat treated and surface oxidized to relieve stress and improve springback characteristics. The coil weighs 6.5 pounds. Machinists, tool and die makers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working with flat springs, retaining clips, and precision stampings commonly specify this material.

This coil is appropriate for workshop and industrial settings where consistent strip thickness and a uniform tempered condition are required. Typical applications include flat spring fabrication, clock and instrument springs, shims, saw blades, and flexible tooling components. The 210-foot coil length supports continuous production runs and reduces the need for frequent material changeovers. It is suitable for use in manual bench work as well as automated strip-feed machinery where a thin, narrow spring steel strip is required.

Key Features

• Grade 1095 high-carbon spring steel for consistent hardness and elasticity
• Blue tempered finish provides stress-relieved, work-ready condition straight from the coil
• 0.018-inch thickness suitable for precision flat spring and shim applications
• 0.5-inch width accommodates standard strip-feed tooling and manual cutting jigs
• 210-foot coil length reduces material changeover frequency in production environments
• Weighs 6.5 pounds for manageable handling and storage

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spring steel strip coil for use in fabrication, tool and die, and mechanical maintenance applications requiring Grade 1095 blue tempered material in a 0.018-inch by 0.5-inch profile.

Installation Notes

Handle coiled spring steel with appropriate cut-resistant gloves, as edges and the strip end can cause lacerations. Use shears, a slitting saw, or an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel rated for hardened steel when cutting to length. Secure the free end of the coil before unrolling to prevent uncontrolled release. Drilling or punching this material may require carbide tooling due to the hardness of the tempered steel.
