52100 Round Bar: Material Profile
52100 is commonly supplied in a spheroidize-annealed condition for machining before final hardening.
Bearing-quality applications may require strict cleanliness, carbide distribution, decarburization, surface quality, and testing provisions.
Purchase to the controlling ASTM, SAE, AMS, or customer specification. Section size, supply condition, mechanical properties, surface limits, testing, and heat/lot traceability can change the acceptable material and processing route.
Key Characteristics
- Very high hardness potential
- Excellent wear resistance
- High rolling-contact fatigue strength
- Good dimensional stability with proper processing
Common Applications
- Bearing races and balls
- Precision rollers
- Wear-resistant bushings
- High-hardness tooling components
Specification Requirements
Identify the governing specification and revision, product form, section size, condition, mechanical properties, testing, and certification requirements. The purchase specification and material certification govern the order.
Request Pricing for 52100 Round Bar
We quote 52100 for manufacturers and commercial buyers. Requirements of 3,000–10,000 lb are welcome, along with multi-ton and truckload programs.
We are not a retail metal store. Small personal-use, typical single-bar, and cut-piece orders are generally not a fit. The material field is prefilled and remains editable; add the specification, size, condition, total weight, processing, testing, required date, and ship-to location.
