C100S is a high-carbon chromium spring steel that conforms to German standard EN10132-4:2000. C100S Spring Steel is a carbon spring steel which are used widely for springs, saws, clutch plates and valves etc.
C100S Steel Strip coil is used in applications requiring high elasticity and strength, such as various types of springs, feeler gauges, and precision cutting tools.
CS100 is not corrosion-resistant and requires proper care to prevent rust.
C100S Spring Steel is a carbon spring steel which are used widely for springs, saws, clutch plates and valves etc. CS100 can be cut by laser, waterjet etc.
It is generally used where higher hardnesses and wear resistance is required or where a higher strength is required in lower thickness material. Common equivalents are CS95, 1095, CS100, XC90.
