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 ...

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

Hardening and Tempering is a thermal process that strengthens steel through a controlled heating and cooling process Hardened and tempered steel strip, is used in many applications including saws, cutting tools as well as springs. This process will result in improved mechanical properties and give a tougher more durable product. The hardening process involves heating the steel to above the critical transformation temperature for the given grade and then rapidly cooling. Whilst this process achieves the  highest mechanical strengths and hardness’s, ... Read More

If you look up definitions of spring steel, you are likely to find the following:- From Wikipedia Spring steel is a low alloy, medium carbon steel with a very high yield strength. This allows objects made of spring steel to return to their original shape despite significant bending or twisting. From AboutMetals The steels used for spring making depend on the application and type of spring. They range from plain carbon grades in the range 0.5% to 1.00% C. to Chromium, Chromium-Vanadium, Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum, Silico- Manganese and ... Read More
