1095 vs blue tempered?
(OP)
I need a spring steel for an application where the sheet goes into a mold which has some mild bends (8" radius is the tightest bend), and is heated to ~200 degrees F. I would like the sheet to return to normal out of the mold, and not take a set. I have a sample of blue tempered that works very well, but I need sheets that are about 15"x72" and it is tough to find blue tempered in this width. Would 1095 cold rolled annealed be a suitable alternative?

They definately have 1095 Hardened and Tempered that will have the kind of properties you want.
