Type 301 is a high strength grade of austenitic chromium Nickel stainless steel , its resistance to atmosphere corrosion and its bright, attractive surface make it an excellent choice for decorative structural applications. Applications include automobile molding and trim, wheel cover, conveyor belts, kitchen equipment, roof draining systems, hose clamps, springs, truck and trailer bodies, railway and subway cars. Type 301 is resistant to a variety of corrosive media. However, the corrosion properties are not as good as the 18-8 chromium-nickel steels. In the hard ... Read More

In addition to supplying spring steel strip in small quantities, we are now able to offer laser cut profiles to your drawings. We stock a wide range of materials up to 4.2mm in carbon and stainless spring steel. Furthermore we can offer small order runs. We can save you the time involved in searching for the material and a subcontractor to cut the components by offering a "one stop" solution. This can save not only time but onward transportation costs. ... Read More

Stainless spring steels are used in place of the more common high carbon and alloy spring steels where corrosion resistance is important. This will commonly occur in medical, food processing, marine and petrochemical applications. The two most available grades are 1.4310 (AISI 301) hard rolled , and BS420S37 and BS420S45 (AISI 420) hardened and tempered. 301 is an austenitic stainless with good corrosion resistance and in the hard rolled condition achieves high tensile strengths and is used commonly for applications such as feeler gauge ...

The advent of laser and waterjet cutting has revolutionised fabrication and particularly the production of complex shapes in high tensile  materials such as hardened and tempered steel strip. We supply a wide range of manufacturers who use these systems to cut out components, and the advantages of the different systems has been the subject of some discussion. I came upon this article recently by Jeff Hahn and Steve Szczesniak at the fabricator.com. Whilst lasers offer some speed advantages over ... Read More

In the UK over 90% of cold rolled spring steel sales are in CS70 and CS80 grades. Both grades are part of the BS1449 standard. Both grades are high carbon "spring" steel used in a variety of applications where high tensile strength is required. CS70 is normally supplied in the annealed condition, in which it is suitable for bending, shaping and forming, before heat treatment. Close International equivalents are Din CK67, AISI/SAE 1070 and Euronorm C67S. CS80 is usually supplied in the ready hardened or ... Read More

BSS are now able to offer a small range of engineering grade steels to complement our existing range of high carbon and stainless spring steels. These grades are suitable for heat treating to reach high tensile strengths and are available in small quantities down to one single sheet or bar. We can supply EN8 and EN9 in sheets from 6mm to 100m in thickness and EN 43A in a range of flat bar dimensions. Call us on 01709 740166 to discuss or email ... Read More
