52100 Steel Alloy Bars

52100 Steel Alloy Bars: High-Carbon, Wear-Resistant Steel for Precision Industrial Applications

Explore the outstanding performance of 52100 Steel Alloy Bars, a high-carbon, chromium-bearing alloy renowned for its exceptional wear resistance, hardness, and fatigue strength. At Hub Metals and Trading Inc., we supply premium 52100 Steel Alloy Bars engineered for industries requiring precision components with high durability, such as aerospace, defense, automotive, oil and gas, and manufacturing.

These heat-treatable steel bars deliver exceptional hardness and fatigue strength, making them ideal for bearings, tooling, and precision mechanical components.

52100 Steel Alloy Bars are composed of Carbon (0.98-1.10%), Chromium (1.30-1.60%), Manganese (0.25-0.45%), and a balance of iron and trace elements. This high-carbon alloy offers excellent hardness, wear resistance, and rolling contact fatigue strength, particularly in applications demanding high precision and durability.

The combination of hardness and wear protection makes it perfect for components exposed to repetitive motion and friction.

Key Features:

  • Exceptional Wear Resistance: Highly resistant to abrasion and surface fatigue.
  • High Hardness: Achieves exceptional hardness after heat treatment.
  • Fatigue Strength: Performs well under rolling and cyclic stress.
  • Heat Treatable: Can be quenched and tempered for enhanced durability.
  • Dimensional Stability: Retains shape and precision during extended use.
