- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell B90 (Medium)
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Not Rated
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. 1095 spring steel has a higher carbon content than 1075 spring steel for better wear resistance. It is often fabricated into parts that will be used under continual stress, such as spring clips and washers.

- Yield Strength: 50,000 psi
- Hardness: Rockwell B90 (Medium)
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Rockwell C64
- Specifications Met: ASTM A684
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 is easier to bend than 1095, but it has less bounce-back after heat treating. It is often used for springs and shims.

- Specifications Met: ASTM A682, ASTM A684
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. It resists stress, so it won’t snap when formed or twisted. Because it has a lower carbon content than 1095 spring steel, it’s not as wear resistant.

Cut it into custom shapes to fit your application.
For accurate leveling, choose materials such as steel or stainless steel, which are hard enough to resist scratching and deforming. Softer shims, like copper or aluminum, can be used as wear plates between components that rub together, preventing damage to equipment. Metal shims include a material certificate with traceable lot number. Most shims include a test report.
Spring steel shim stock is comparable in strength to carbon steel shim stock, but is harder and holds its shape better. It isn't as corrosion resistant as other shims.

Cut this shim stock it into custom shapes to fit your application. Stock is made of layers of material bonded with adhesive; remove layers with a utility knife until you get the thickness you need. To make the layers easier to pull apart, gently heat the shim to soften the adhesive.
For accurate leveling, choose materials such as steel or stainless steel, which are hard enough to resist scratching and deforming. Softer shims, like copper or aluminum, can be used as wear plates between components that rub together, preventing damage to equipment.
18-8 stainless steel shim stock is more corrosion resistant than carbon steel shim stock.
Carbon steel shim stock has excellent strength and can be welded, but isn't as corrosion resistant as other shim stock.
Aluminum shim stock is lightweight and nonmagnetic. It has good corrosion resistance.
Brass shim stock is corrosion resistant and nonmagnetic.
Polyimide plastic shim stock is corrosion resistant, electrically insulating, and holds its shape at extreme temperatures. It's easier to peel apart than metal shim stock. Stock includes a material certificate with traceable lot number and test report.
