Value Collection 31976202 Steel Coil 1095 Blue Tempered

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31976202 is a Grade 1095 blue tempered spring steel coil used in fabrication, tooling, and maintenance applications requiring a resilient, high-carbon strip material. Measuring 0.018 inches thick and 4 inches wide with a 28-foot length per coil, this strip delivers consistent flatness and uniform temper across its full run. The blue temper finish indicates controlled heat treatment that produces a hard, springy material with predictable flex characteristics. Machinists, tool and die makers, maintenance technicians, and fabricators work with this material when building or repairing parts that must hold tension, return to shape, or resist wear under repeated stress cycles.

This coil is suited for light industrial and commercial shop environments where pre-tempered spring steel strip is cut to length for custom components. Typical applications include flat springs, scrapers, shims, flexible blades, and retention clips. The 28-foot coil length provides enough material for multiple parts from a single piece, reducing scrap and setup time on low-to-medium volume runs. It is handled by metalworking and maintenance professionals in machine shops, HVAC fabrication, and general industrial settings.

Key Features

• Grade 1095 high-carbon spring steel for consistent flex and return-to-shape performance
• Blue tempered finish indicates controlled heat treatment for hardness and spring characteristics
• 0.018 inches thick by 4 inches wide strip profile suits precision flat spring and shim applications
• 28-foot coil length provides ample material for multiple cut-to-length components
• Uniform width and thickness across the full coil for repeatable part fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose pre-tempered spring steel strip for fabrication and repair applications requiring Grade 1095 blue tempered material in a 0.018 inches by 4 inches cross-section.

Installation Notes

Spring steel coil should be cut using shears, abrasive cutoff equipment, or appropriate metal-cutting tools rated for hardened high-carbon steel. Wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when uncoiling and cutting, as tempered spring steel can release stored tension. Avoid bending the material over sharp radii tighter than the material grade supports, as this can cause cracking at the bend. Grinding or drilling operations on hardened spring steel require carbide or HSS tooling and adequate workholding.
