Steelflex - Anyone help?
- Thread starter cougarfan
- Start date
Likely that name "SteelFlex" is a trade name for a particular grade of steel. I googled it and had a number fo hits thou they were mostly for a treadmill/exercise equipment manuf.
I'm gonna guess that the steel is a highly wear resistant grade that maintains some flexibility when hardened.

I have heard of Steelflex as a type of flexible coupling (see Machine Design published by Macmillan Page 386). They are produced by Folk Corporation, a subsidiary of Sunstrand Corporation.
The flexible part comes from a convoluted flat leaf spring. I would therefore guess that your material may be a spring steel at spring hardness.
