Value Collection 31976756 Steel Coil 1095 Blue Tempered

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31976756 is a blue tempered 1095 spring steel coil used in industrial, mechanical, and fabrication applications where consistent tension, flexibility, and high carbon content are required. The coil measures 0.032 inches thick and 0.5 inches wide, running 130 feet in length, making it suitable for cutting to custom lengths on the job or in the shop. Grade 1095 blue tempered spring steel is a high-carbon alloy known for its hardness, resilience, and fatigue resistance. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians work with this material to produce springs, retaining bands, feeler stock, and precision formed components.

This coil is appropriate for light industrial and precision fabrication environments. Its narrow 0.5-inch width and 0.032-inch thickness make it well suited for small-format spring components, shim stock, and banding applications. The blue temper finish indicates the steel has been heat treated and oxidized to a controlled hardness level, reducing brittleness and improving workability for bending and forming operations. It is commonly used in HVAC equipment repair, machinery maintenance, and general metal fabrication shops.

Key Features

• Grade 1095 high-carbon spring steel with blue tempered finish for controlled hardness and springback
• 0.032-inch thickness provides consistent gauge across the full 130-foot length
• 0.5-inch width suits narrow-profile spring, band, and shim applications
• Coil format allows field or shop cutting to required lengths
• Blue temper treatment improves resistance to fatigue and repeated flex cycles

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1095 blue tempered spring steel coil for fabrication, repair, and maintenance applications requiring high-carbon strip steel in this gauge and width.

Installation Notes

Cutting and forming spring steel should be performed by experienced fabricators or maintenance technicians using appropriate metal-cutting tools rated for high-carbon stock. Wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when uncoiling or cutting - spring steel stores significant tension and edges are sharp. Avoid bending below the minimum bend radius for the gauge to prevent cracking. No welding is recommended without appropriate pre- and post-heat treatment procedures for high-carbon steel.
