Value Collection 31976251 Steel Coil Grade 1095 Blue Tempered

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31976251 is a blue tempered 1095 spring steel coil used in applications requiring consistent tension, flexibility, and fatigue resistance. The coil measures 0.02 inches thick and 3/8 inches wide, with a total length of 260 feet. Grade 1095 is a high-carbon steel known for its hardness and springback characteristics after deflection. Blue tempering is a heat treatment process that relieves internal stress and improves toughness, making this coil suitable for fabricating clock springs, flat springs, retaining clips, and similar precision components. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance professionals work with this material regularly.

This steel coil is suited for industrial, commercial, and maintenance shop environments where flat spring stock is cut to length and formed into custom components. Common applications include spring fabrication, shim stock, band saw blade repair guides, strapping, and other uses that demand a consistent cross-section and reliable temper. The 260-foot length provides ample stock for production runs or ongoing maintenance needs without frequent reordering.

Key Features

• Grade 1095 high-carbon spring steel for strong springback and fatigue resistance
• Blue tempered finish reduces internal stress and improves toughness
• 0.02-inch thickness and 3/8-inch width provide a consistent cross-section throughout the coil
• 260-foot coil length supports production-scale cutting and forming operations
• Suitable for fabricating flat springs, clips, retaining bands, and strapping components

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flat spring steel coil stock for use in fabrication, tooling, and maintenance applications requiring Grade 1095 blue tempered spring steel at 0.02-inch thickness and 3/8-inch width.

Installation Notes

This material is typically cut and formed by machinists or maintenance technicians using appropriate metal-cutting tools rated for high-carbon steel. Wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when uncoiling, cutting, or forming spring steel stock, as edges are sharp and the material can release stored tension unexpectedly. Avoid bending beyond the material yield point, which can cause permanent deformation or fracture. Follow applicable shop safety standards when grinding or cutting this hardened steel.
