Value Collection 41977531C Spring Steel Sheet 1095 Blue Tempered

Product Description

The Value Collection 41977531C is a Grade 1095 blue tempered spring steel sheet measuring 12.375 inches wide by 24 inches long by 0.05 inches thick. Grade 1095 is a high-carbon steel known for its hardness, resilience, and ability to return to its original shape after deflection — the defining characteristic that makes it suitable for spring and flex applications. The blue temper treatment enhances surface hardness and provides a degree of corrosion resistance while maintaining the material's spring properties. This sheet is used by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians who need raw spring steel stock for custom part fabrication or replacement applications.

This spring steel sheet is used in industrial and commercial settings for fabricating flat springs, shims, blades, retaining clips, and other components that require controlled flex and snap-back behavior. It is well suited for machine shops, tool and die operations, and maintenance departments that cut, grind, or stamp flat spring components from raw stock. The 24-inch length and 12.375-inch width provide sufficient material for a range of small-to-medium custom parts from a single sheet.

Key Features

• Grade 1095 high-carbon spring steel with blue temper treatment for enhanced hardness and surface protection
• 0.05-inch thickness provides consistent flex characteristics appropriate for flat spring and shim applications
• 12.375 x 24 inch sheet size offers usable stock for multiple small components or a single medium-sized part
• Blue tempered finish indicates controlled heat treatment for uniform spring properties throughout the material
• Sold as a single sheet with no minimum order quantity beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as raw material stock for fabricating flat springs, shims, blades, retaining clips, and similar components requiring high-carbon spring steel. Specific end-use compatibility depends on the fabricated part design and application requirements.

Installation Notes

Cutting and shaping spring steel stock should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate metal-cutting tools rated for high-carbon steel. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when handling or cutting this material, as edges can be sharp. Avoid bending beyond the material's elastic limit, which can permanently deform the sheet. Any drilling or grinding operations should use tooling suitable for hardened steel.
