C1085 Spring Steel Strip: Thickness and Slitting Requirements for Precision Flat Parts
Published
C1085 cold-rolled spring steel strip for precision flat elastic parts requires attention to thickness consistency, slitting width, edge burr, coil tightness, and packaging. These factors directly affect narrow strip feeding stability and forming quality. Jiangsu Gaozhen handles enquiries by grade, dimensions and processing requirements.
C1085: material and applications
C1085 is listed in Gaozhen’s cold-rolled spring-steel catalogue for enquiries concerning thin elastic parts. Forming before treatment and using strip already specified to a hardness and property condition are different manufacturing arrangements. Cold rolling describes processing and does not, by itself, define the soft or hard condition.
Both mean gauge and gauge variation matter when narrow strip enters continuous stamping. Slit width and edges relate to guiding and location, while coil dimensions and winding need to suit the uncoiler. Confirm these requirements with the finished shape and process route rather than from the grade alone.
Typical Parts and Processing
Precision flat elastic parts such as contact springs, clamping plates, and locating plates are often fed as narrow coils into progressive dies or continuous stamping lines. The process typically includes uncoiling, leveling, feeding, blanking or bending, possible deburring, and subsequent heat treatment. Purchasing should clarify the material state at each stage: if soft state is needed before forming to facilitate bending, specify soft delivery requirements; if the final service state requires quenching and tempering, describe the post-heat-treatment performance targets separately. Specify the two conditions separately. Slitting width tolerance and edge burr height should be determined with reference to guide clearance and die clearance. Coil tightness affects whether the coil collapses or tension fluctuates during uncoiling; packaging should consider rust-preventive paper and inter-coil support. Thickness measurement locations and methods should be agreed in the contract to avoid assessing only the average value.
Purchasing Details and Rationale
List gauge tolerance, width tolerance, edge requirements and individual coil dimensions for narrow-strip enquiries. State the equipment’s bore, outer-diameter or weight limits before agreeing packaging and unpacking. Include storage and subsequent cleaning conditions where surface protection is required.
Match the incoming condition to the acceptance stage. Annealed stock for further forming and strip ordered to an agreed hardness have different inspection priorities. Trial-coil records should include feeding behaviour and finished measurements so later batches can be compared at the same stage.
Is Average Thickness Conformity Sufficient?
No. Average thickness conformity only indicates the overall level and does not reflect local variation. Narrow strip feeding is sensitive to thickness fluctuation; local out-of-tolerance may cause feeding jams or changes in die clearance. Purchasing should specify the thickness tolerance band, measurement locations (e.g., fixed distance from edge), measuring tools and frequency, and clarify whether assessment is per coil or per segment. This converts thickness consistency requirements into inspectable clauses.
C1085 dimensions and supply enquiry
The Gaozhen C1085 product page lists these catalogue dimensions: Thickness range: 0.2-6.0 mm; Width range: 8-350 mm. These values support specification discussions; confirm the required combination of gauge, width and condition for the material.
For spring strip, discuss the grade, delivery condition, width and process route. Identify whether the order concerns raw stock or processed blanks to define dimensions and delivery scope.
