“Federstahl strips can be purchased from various suppliers specializing in metals and technical materials. Here are some possibilities:

1. Metal dealers and retailers:

Metal wholesalers like Klöckner & Co, thyssenkrupp Materials, or Stahlmarkt.de offer spring steel in different shapes and dimensions.

Local metal dealers or technical specialist shops often have spring steel in standard sizes or can order it.

Two. Online shops for metals and technical materials:

Alfer Metal or Onlinemetals.de offer different metals, including spring steel, in different shapes and sizes, often also as strips.

Metallstore24.de or Edelstahl24.com are also known contact points for metal products in small quantities.

3. Special offer for spring steel:

Companies like Gutkunst Federn or Lesjöfors are specialized in feathers and spring steel products and also offer stripes in various dimensions.

At Schnorr GmbH or Friedrich Binder GmbH you will also find special spring steels in strip form.

4. Industrial requirements and mechanical engineering shops:

Misumi and RS Components are industrial demand providers that lead many technical materials including spring steel.

Zoro or Berner also lead materials for mechanical engineering and could have spring steel strips in the range.

Five. Online marketplaces like eBay and Amazon:

For smaller quantities or certain dimensions, spring steel strips are also offered on platforms such as eBay and Amazon, often by specialized sellers.

When ordering, it is helpful to specify the exact alloy, thickness and hardness of the spring steel, as spring steels are available in different varieties (e.g. C75, 1.4310 for stainless spring steel) and finishes.”, Source: ChatGPT

Stands there, a spring steel strip, where “”=Inches (inch) and Gauge is another unit of measure.

Welcome to the world of imperial and custom measuring units, Gauges there are several where there are also differences between ordinary udn imperial and if here is probably meant the Gauge for sheets, this is still material-dependent.

20 SWG is at ~ 0.036 inch for spring steel, with the value rounded, you are better oriented to ~0.912mm
