52100 Bearing Steel Round Bar is a high-carbon, high-chromium through-hardening steel manufactured to ASTM A295 / SAE J403 standards. It delivers excellent surface hardness, superior wear resistance and high rolling contact fatigue strength — making it the industry standard for rolling-element bearing components including balls, rollers, races and bearing rings. Supplied in hot-rolled, forged, peeled or ground finish with full mill test certification.
