Spring Steel Strip

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

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 ...

Many engineering and smaller manufacturing companies find they need spring steels in smaller quantities, often as little as one strip. This can be difficult to source, as even the traditional stockholders may require a minimum order of 50 kilos or more. We have recognised this problem at BSS and we are able to offer both traditional carbon spring steels and now stainless spring steels in very small quantities, just enough to meet your needs. The grades we can offer in addition ... Read More

BSS are pleased to advise that we are now able to offer small quantities of stainless spring steel from stock. Temper rolled Stainless Steel Shim 1.4310 (AISI 301) This Steel has a good corrosion resistance due to a content of 17 % Chromium and 7 % Nickel. A high tensile strength is obtained by cold rolling. Compared to Alloy 1.4301 (AISI 304) a much higher tensile strength of more than 2000 N/mm² can be reached. Because of this, 1.4310 is suitable for stainless feeler ... Read More
