|EN 100Cr6 Bearing Steel Bars|
The material is capable of through hardening by quenching and tempering on limited sections but is more commonly supplied in the untreated or normalized condition.
EN 100Cr6 Bearing Steel Bars description
EN 100Cr6 special steel is one kind of bearing steel. It also belongs to free-cutting alloy steel and heat-treated steel.
Standard: BS EN ISO 683-17: 2014
The material is capable of through hardening by quenching and tempering on limited sections but is more commonly supplied in the untreated or normalized condition. Using controlled processing and heat-treating methods the finished bearing components have high strength to resist cracking and a hard surface to resist subsurface rolling contact fatigue. The typical surface hardness for bearing components made from this material ranges from 60-64 on the Rockwell hardness C scale (Rc).
