CS100 Spring Steel

CS100 Spring Steel is a high-carbon grade supplied by BSS Spring Steel Stock in coil form. With a carbon content of 0.95 – 1.05%, CS100 provides excellent hardness, wear resistance, and strength, making it suitable for applications where thinner materials must deliver exceptional performance.
