How Quenching Temperature Affects Steel Strip Hardness
Quenching is one of the most critical processes in heat-treated steel strip production. Whether the final material is used for springs, blades, automotive components, or industrial tools, the hardness of the steel strip is largely determined by one key factor — quenching temperature. Understanding how quenching temperature influences hardness helps manufacturers optimize performance, reduce defects, […]
Why Does Spheroidizing Annealing Make Steel Strip Easier to Bend?
In the manufacturing of steel strip—especially high-carbon steels such as C75S, SK5, 65Mn, and alloy grades—spheroidizing annealing is one of the most important heat-treatment processes. It is widely used before cold forming, stamping, bending, or deep drawing, because it significantly improves the material’s ductility and workability. But why does spheroidizing annealing make steel strip easier […]
High Carbon and Alloy Steel Strips: Strength Meets Versatility
From C67S and C75S high carbon spring steel to 50CrV4 and 60Si2Mn alloy steel, Jiaxiao MTC offers a complete range of steel strips engineered for strength, elasticity, and fatigue resistance. High carbon steels provide excellent hardness and wear resistance, while alloy steels offer superior impact toughness — making them suitable for tools, blades, automotive springs, […]
Is Cold-Rolled Steel Expensive? | Understanding Quality, Cost, and Value
1. Introduction Many buyers and engineers often ask the same question:“Is cold-rolled steel expensive?” The short answer is yes — but for good reason. Cold-rolled steel costs more than hot-rolled steel because of its additional processing, tighter tolerances, and higher performance.However, when you look at the total cost of ownership — including durability, formability, et […]
C75S High Carbon Steel Strip — The Classic Choice for Springs and Saw Blades
1. Overview C75S belongs to the family of high carbon spring steels (C67S, C70S, C75S, C80, C85S, C95S), widely recognized for its excellent hardness, tensile strength, and elasticity after proper heat treatment.Jiaxiao MTC manufactures C75S high carbon steel strips in both cold-rolled annealed and hardened and tempered conditions, ensuring high precision in thickness, width, et […]
Steel Strip Selection for Blades, Saws & Measuring Tools
Choosing the right steel strip isn’t just a technical decision — it’s a practical one that directly affects performance, safety, and cost. Whether you’re manufacturing cutting blades, band saws, or precision measuring tools, your steel selection will make or break your product quality. Let’s break it down clearly — no fluff, just straight talk about […]
High Carbon Steel vs. Stainless Steel: Heat Treatment Secrets & Choosing the Right Metal for the Job
When it comes to steel, not all strips are created equal. If you’re making springs, blades, tools, or parts that need to last under stress, choosing between high carbon steel and stainless steel can feel like walking a tightrope. Both have strengths. Both have limits. And at the heart of it all? Heat treatment. Let’s […]
Blue & Yellow Tempered Strips: What’s the Difference?
When it comes to hardened and tempered steel strips, color isn’t just cosmetic—it tells a story about the material’s heat treatment and performance characteristics. For manufacturers working with springs, blades, saws, or precision parts, knowing the difference between blue and yellow tempered steel strips can save you time, reduce production issues, and even extend product […]
How High Carbon Steel Balances Strength and Toughness
When you’re choosing a material for blades, ressorts, or wear-resistant parts, you want one that doesn’t just look good on paper—you want something that performs under pressure. High carbon steel often enters that conversation because of one critical promise: it balances strength and toughness. But how does it do that? And what does it mean […]
