Spring steel is a low alloy, medium carbon steel or high carbon steel with very high yield strength. This allows objects made of spring steel to return to their original shape despite significant bending or twisting. Mead Metals Inc. offers tempered spring steel in multiple grades, sizes, and quantities to meet your needs. Our tempered spring steel, commonly referred to as high carbon steel, meets ASTM A684 specifications and is useful for a number of applications.
We supply 1075 scaleless blue tempered spring steel. It is softer than 1095, and it has medium carbon content and a polished finish. It can be used for a variety of applications, including lower carbon applications where a polished surface is not required.
Our 1095 scaleless blue tempered spring steel is harder than 1075, but it is not as easily formable. It features a higher carbon content and a polished finish. AISI 1095 tempered spring steel is ideal for a number of uses, and one of its common uses is in springs and steel tapes.
Mead Metals’ tempered spring steel is available in a range of sizes, and thickness from .005 to .062. We stock quantities to meet the requirements of any project, large or small. We can perform a number of secondary services including:
