About Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, Spring Steel, and Cast Iron

Wear-Resistant 1095 Spring Steel Sheets and Strips

Also known as blue-tempered steel.

Easy-to-Form Wear-Resistant 1095 Spring Steel Sheets

These sheets have a softened temper, which is also known as annealed, so they can be easily formed into shape and then heat treated for spring properties.

1075 Spring Steel Strips

Also known as scaleless steel.

Easy-to-Form 1075 Spring Steel Sheets

These sheets have a softened temper, which is also known as annealed, so they can be easily formed into shape and then heat treated for spring properties.

Easy-To-Form Multipurpose 1050 Spring Steel Sheets

Containing more carbon than low-carbon steel—but less than 1095 spring steel—1050 spring steel is easily formed into parts such as washers, brackets, and springs before being hardened for use.
