GCr15,52100,1.3505,SUJ2 Alloy Structural Steel

AISI 52100 (equivalent to GCr15/1.3505/SUJ2) is a high-carbon, chromium-containing low-alloy steel specifically engineered for maximum hardness and wear resistance. Often classified as a "bearing steel," it contains approximately 1% carbon and 1.5% chromium. This unique composition allows it to reach a Rockwell hardness of HRC 60–67 after heat treatment. It is characterized by excellent fatigue strength and dimensional stability, though its low chromium content means it has limited corrosion resistance compared to stainless steels.

Product Advantages Of 52100 Bearing Steel


Exceptional Hardness And Durability

Our 1.3505 structural steel delivers unmatched durability when subjected to extreme pressure and continuous rolling contact fatigue. The advanced metallurgical structure ensures a hardened surface layer that effectively withstands intense mechanical stress while preserving deep structural integrity. This reliable, long-lasting wear resistance significantly extends the operational lifespan of critical rotating assemblies. Plant operators appreciate how it visibly reduces maintenance frequency for high-load commercial machinery.


Versatile Production And Processing Options

We supply this material through electric arc furnace and vacuum degassing production routes to ensure optimal metal purity. Clients can request forged or hot rolled delivery conditions based on their specific machining requirements. Furthermore, the material is available in various surface finishes including black surface, turned, milled, peeled, or precision grinded conditions. These versatile preparation options help directly streamline your subsequent manufacturing operations.


Consistent Dimensional Stability

Engineered for precision applications, our SUJ2 steel bar maintains excellent dimensional stability even after extensive high-temperature heat treatment processes. This crucial characteristic makes it highly suitable for manufacturing components that require exact tolerances and minimal distortion over long-term usage. By reliably retaining its shape under constant stress, it provides a dependable foundation for intricate mechanical parts operating within demanding commercial environments.
