52100 Steel Alloy Tubes

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

52100 Steel Alloy Tubes are a high-carbon, chromium-bearing alloy renowned for their exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue strength. These properties make them ideal for demanding applications where durability and precision are critical. At Hub Metals and Trading Inc., we supply premium 52100 Steel Alloy Tubes designed for high-performance industries, including aerospace, defense, automotive, oil and gas, and manufacturing.

These tubes provide exceptional mechanical performance, making them suitable for load-bearing components exposed to dynamic stress and repetitive motion.

52100 Steel Alloy Tubes are composed of Carbon (0.98-1.10%), Chromium (1.30-1.60%), Manganese (0.25-0.45%), and balanced elements of silicon and iron. This alloy offers outstanding wear resistance and hardness due to its high carbon and chromium content, making it perfect for precision components requiring long-term performance.
