52100 Steel Alloy Forgings

52100 Steel Alloy Forgings: Ultra-Hard, High-Wear-Resistant Steel for Precision Engineering

52100 Steel Alloy Forgings are renowned for their exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue strength. As a high-carbon, chromium-bearing alloy, 52100 Steel offers superior performance in precision components requiring long-term durability and mechanical reliability.

At Hub Metals and Trading Inc., we supply premium 52100 Steel Alloy Forgings designed for industries where surface hardness and wear resistance are critical, including aerospace, defense, automotive, oil and gas, and manufacturing.

52100 Steel Alloy Forgings are composed of Carbon (0.98-1.10%), Chromium (1.30-1.60%), Manganese (0.25-0.45%), and trace elements including silicon and phosphorus. This high-carbon steel is commonly heat-treated to maximize hardness and wear resistance, making it ideal for demanding applications where performance and longevity are essential.

Key Features:

  • Exceptional Hardness: High surface hardness for superior wear resistance.
  • High Fatigue Strength: Designed for cyclic stress and dynamic loads.
  • Wear Resistant: Excellent abrasion protection in high-friction environments.
  • Dimensional Stability: Retains shape and integrity over long-term use.
  • Heat Treatable: Can be quenched and tempered for enhanced hardness.
