Value Collection 41976186C Steel Coil Grade 1095 Blue Tempered

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 41976186C is a Grade 1095 blue tempered spring steel coil used in fabrication, toolmaking, and maintenance applications that require a tough, resilient strip material. The coil measures 0.018 inches thick and 2 inches wide, running 8 feet in length. Grade 1095 is a high-carbon steel known for its hardness, wear resistance, and spring-back characteristics after blue tempering. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians reach for this material when building or repairing flat springs, shims, saw blades, scrapers, and similar components that need to hold shape under repeated stress.

This coil is suited for light industrial and commercial shop environments. It works well in applications requiring a pre-hardened, pre-tempered strip that can be cut to length, bent, or shaped without additional heat treatment in most cases. Typical users include machine shops, maintenance departments, and metal fabrication operations that need a small-quantity supply of spring steel strip for repair or prototype work.

Key Features

• Grade 1095 high-carbon steel with blue temper finish for hardness and spring characteristics
• 0.018 inch thickness suitable for flat spring and shim applications
• 2 inch width provides material for a range of strip and blank cuts
• 8 foot length allows multiple cuts from a single coil
• Blue tempered surface finish resists corrosion during storage and handling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spring steel strip for fabrication, repair, and toolmaking applications requiring Grade 1095 blue tempered material at 0.018 inch thickness.

Installation Notes

Cutting and forming spring steel requires appropriate metalworking tools such as aviation snips, metal shears, or an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel. Wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when handling and cutting strip stock, as edges are sharp. High-carbon spring steel may crack if bent sharply at tight radii without proper tooling. Follow applicable shop safety standards when working with hardened strip materials.
