Description

Spring steel is a specialized type of steel used for making springs and elastic components. It boasts high yield strength and elasticity, enabling it to revert to its original shape after deformation. This steel is vital in applications requiring resilience and durability, including automotive suspensions, mechanical springs, and hand tools.

Types of metal compared
1075 Spring Steel Descriptions1075 spring steel is known for its medium-high carbon content, which gives it exceptional forming qualities that surpass those of its counterpart, 1095 blue tempered steel. This type of steel is widely used in a variety of applications, such as snap springs, lock springs, trap springs, and more. 1075 scaleless tempered spring steel is valued for its versatility and reliability. Its unique properties, including superior edge retention and optimal flexibility, make it an excellent choice for a wide range of industrial and commercial uses.1075 spring steel provides a good balance of strength, hardness, and formability.1075 Spring Steel Specifications

1075 Spring Steel Features
  • It contains 0.70-0.80% carbon, which gives it good hardness and strength.
  • The steel also contains 0.40-0.70% manganese, which improves its hardenability and toughness.
  • 1075 steel can be heat-treated to achieve a Rockwell hardness of 44-47 C, making it hard but still relatively formable.
  • It has a tensile strength of 680-900 MPa and a yield strength of 500-590 MPa, giving it excellent mechanical properties.
  • Compared to the higher-carbon 1095 steel, 1075 is slightly softer but more easily formed and machined.
  • Common applications for 1075 spring steel include springs, scrapers, washers, and wear strips where a polished surface is not required.
It can also be used for knife and tool making, though the 1095 grade is often preferred for its higher hardness.

1095 Spring Steel Descriptions

1095 spring steel is a high-carbon steel alloy known for its excellent strength, hardness, and elasticity, making it well-suited for various industrial and consumer applications such as springs and cutting tools. It is a versatile and high-performance material.

1095 Spring Steel Features

  • It contains 0.90-1.04% carbon, which gives it high strength and hardness.
  • It also contains 0.30-0.50% manganese, which improves its hardenability and toughness.
  • 1095 steel can be heat-treated to achieve a Rockwell hardness of 48-51 C, making it very hard and durable.
  • It has high tensile strength, typically 1690-1890 MPa, and a high yield strength of 1100-1230 MPa.
  • The high carbon content and heat treatment give 1095 steel excellent elasticity and fatigue resistance, allowing it to be used in springs and other applications that require repeated bending.
  • In addition to springs, 1095 steel is commonly used for knives, tools, and other cutting implements that need to hold a sharp edge.
