Hardened and Tempered Steel Strip (also known as hardened and tempered High carbon steel strip or, hardened and tempered carbon spring steel strip) is the basic raw material from which many different components are made, substantially being spring-type applications ranging from clutch plate segments to washers, retractor springs and even to tree springs in riding saddles and traditional clock springs. These strip products are a specialty of the Company and considerable plant development has taken place in recent years to facilitate a very wide range of dimensions, mechanical properties and coil weights. Hardened and Tempered Steel Strip gauges of between 0.10mm and 2.00mm can be processed and, depending on the appropriate combination to suit the process equipment, strip widths of between 4.76mm to 240mm are produced. The facilities also allow up to 2000kg coils to be produced though most are well below this, being governed by a very approximate relationship of 100kg per 25mm of width.

Steel C100S (1.1274) - specification and application: C100S is Low-alloy carbon steel for thermal improvement by oil hardening available in strips and thin cold-rolled sheets used for springs and leaf springs with small cross-sections. It is characterized by low hardenability, abrasion resistance and decarburization and oxidation tendency during heat treatment.C100S steel products and its equivalents do not show resistance to atmospheric corrosion, and after heat treatment get tempered martensite structure. Carbon spring steels are delivered in various hardening and soft condition variants.Steel used for spring washers, spring elements, feeler gauges, and other loaded parts requiring high elasticity and tensile strength.

The steel C100S is used as cold rolled strip for springs and special applications in thicknesses of up to 6 mm and as tempered cold strip in thicknesses from 0.30 to 3.00 mm. The springs made of steel C100S are suitable for highly stressed tension springs, especially in the watch industry, as well as for pen nibs.

The surface finish of Hardened and Tempered Steel Strip products is not too critical in general engineering applications where the normal blue-black (also known as blue-grey) oxidized finish from the heat treatment is satisfactory. By control of the atmospheres in the furnaces non-oxidised surfaces can also be produced, on a selected basis, and alternatively, steels can be satin or bright polished were needed, these finishes being as much for cosmetic reasons as for engineering purposes.

C100S 1.1274 Quenched Tempered Strip Delivery condition

Cold rolled narrow steel strip covered by EN10132-4 shall be supplied in one of the following delivery conditions:

-annealed or annealed and skin passed(+A or +LC);

-cold rolled(+CR);

-quenched and tempered(+QT).

NOTE The delivery condition-annealed to achieve spheroidized carbides(+AC)-may be agreed. In such cases, limits on spheroidization and mechanical properties may also be agreed at the time of enquiry and order.

C100S 1.1274 Quenched Tempered Strip Decarburization

For silicon alloyed steels, decarburization shall not exceed 3% of the material thickness per side,for non silicon alloyed steels, decarburization shall not exceed 2% of the material thickness per side when measure data distance of 5mm from the stripe edge

C100S 1.1274 Quenched Tempered Strip Surface finish

The surface finish of cold rolled narrow steel strip shall be bright as produced by rolling and annealing in a controlled atmosphere.

The surface finishes of quenched and tempered cold rolled strip are as follows:

1 grey/blue oxide finish:unpolished;

2 brigth tempered:unpolished

3 polished: obtained by fine grinding, abrasive brushing or other processes;

4 polished and coloured:blue or yellow colour obtained by oxidization by heat

treatment.

High carbon steel is an ideal material for custom flat springs, custom clips, and custom sheet metal stampings. High Carbon Steel Strips combines ease of fabrication with good strength and surface finish, is valued for its strength properties and operates at significantly higher levels than the mild steel grades. High carbon steel strip can be finished to meet the needs of a wide range of products. Where tensile strength and hardness are required, High Carbon steels are the material of choice. High Carbon Steel Strips Grades : C60, C65, C70, C75, C85, HC-14, En 42 J, C-98, C-100, C-124, HC21 etc. We offer spring steel strip in various shapes and sizes according to your final uses. These have excellent hardens property and high yield strength. Clients can avail these at competitive prices.
