Feeler gage stock and calibrated shim steel from h+s is manufactured in high quality alloys.

For different applications we have now seven alloys available.

A table showing the condition and typical analysis is shown below.

Hardened and tempered High Carbon Steel 1.1274 (AISI 1095)
Due to a carbon content of more than 1 % this alloy is ideal for feeler gauge stock, shims and springs where corrosion problems are not expected. This material is magnetic. Available in thickness between 0.01 and 2.0 mm.

Hardened and tempered Tool Steel 1.2003 (AISI 1078)
A small amount of Chromium leads to a higher wear resistance and better hardening for large widths. This alloy is also suitable for small tools due to a Rockwell hardness of 47 – 51 HRc. This magnetic alloy is our standard Carbon steel for thickness between 1.0 and 5.03 mm.

Hardened and tempered Special Spring Steel 1.4031Mo – X39CrMo14 – (AISI 420)
Composition: C: approx. 0,39%, Si: approx. 0,40%, Mn: approx. 0,60%, P: max. 0,025%, S: max. 0,010%, Cr: approx. 13,5%, Mo approx. 1,0%
Condition: hardened
and tempered. Flatness P2, some thicknesses also P3, cut edges.
Due to the content of 13% Chromium and 1% Molybdenum this alloy is corrosion resistant at wet air, stam and water, but not resistant enough against chliride ions and acids. The alloy 1.4031Mo has advantages in better wear resistance and low inner stress. With a tensile strength of 1700-1950 N/mm² this alloy is used for springs, gauges, small tools and knifes.

Hardened and tempered Stainless Tool Steel 1.4034 (1.2083), (AISI 420)
This Steel is corrosion resistant at wet air, steam and water, but not resistant against chloride ions and acids. Compared to 1.4310 (AISI 301) this alloy has a lower corrosion resistance.
This alloy has advantages in better wear resistance and low inner stress. It is ideal for gages, tools, machine knifes in the food industry and scalpels. The alloys 1.4034 and 1.2083 have little differences in the carbon content. This alloy is magnetic. Available in thicknesses between 1.0 and 3.0 mm.
This alloy is difficult to bend or weld in the hardened condition.
In thicknesses between 0.076 and 1.0 mm we have the alloy 1.4031Mo hardened on stock.

Temper rolled Stainless Steel 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 gage stock, precision foils, stainless springs and parts of higher strength. This alloy is little magnetic and can not be hold by magnetic tables of grinding machines.

Please take care of the rolling direction when bending or using as a flat spring.

Available in more than 60 thicknesses between 0.003 and 3.0 mm.

Stainless Steels 1.4404 (AISI 316L)

This alloy has an increased corrosion resistance compared to 1.4310 (AISI 301) due to a higher content of Nickel and Molybdenum. We have this alloys in the annealed condition on stock, in some thicknesses also available in the temper rolled condition.

Temper rolled Brass 2.0321, (ASTM 27 200)
With a composition of 63 % Copper and 37 % Zinc it is the standard alloy for temper rolled brass. It is not magnetic. Please take care of the rolling direction when bending or using as a flat spring. Available from 0.01 to 1.00 mm.

We can also supply Carbon steels like DIN Ck 75 (1.1248) and DIN Ck 85 (1.1269) as well as Stainless Steels like 1.4301 (AISI 304) and 1.4404 (AISI 316L). Please ask for availability and price if you need these or similar alloys.
