Value Collection 31977002 Steel Coil 1095 Blue Tempered

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31977002 is a blue tempered 1095 spring steel coil used in fabrication, tooling, and mechanical assembly applications. The coil measures 0.042 inches thick and 1 inch wide, running 55 feet in length. Grade 1095 is a high-carbon steel known for its hardness, resilience, and ability to hold a tempered edge — properties that make it a standard choice for flat springs, clock springs, saw blades, and similar components. The blue temper finish indicates a controlled heat treatment that improves surface hardness and reduces brittleness. Machinists, tool-and-die shops, and fabricators are the primary users of this material.

This steel coil is suited for light industrial and precision fabrication environments where consistent thickness and spring-back characteristics are required. Common applications include replacement flat springs, retaining clips, scraper blades, and custom tooling stock. The 55-foot coil length provides enough material for multiple parts from a single spool, reducing waste and setup time in production runs. The 1-inch width fits a wide range of standard die and stamping setups without requiring additional slitting.

Key Features

• Grade 1095 high-carbon spring steel with blue temper heat treatment for consistent hardness
• 0.042-inch thickness suitable for flat spring and retaining-clip fabrication
• 1-inch width works with standard stamping and die tooling without modification
• 55-foot coil length supports small-batch and production-run cutting
• 7.9 pounds coil weight — manageable for bench-top or press-feed use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1095 blue tempered spring steel coil for fabrication and tooling applications where 0.042-inch-thick, 1-inch-wide flat spring stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting and forming of high-carbon spring steel should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabricator using appropriate tooling rated for hardened stock. Wear eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when uncoiling or shearing the material, as spring-back can be significant. Grinding or cutting without coolant may affect the temper at the cut zone — use low-heat methods where hardness retention is critical. Follow applicable shop safety standards for handling coiled steel stock.
