Chemistry Information : 52100 Carbon Steel
The bar measures 0.08 inches in thickness, 1.5 inches in width, and 11.6 inches in length. It is made from 52100 carbon steel, known for its high carbon content (0.93 - 1.1%) and alloying elements like chromium (1.4 - 1.6%) that provide excellent wear resistance and strength.
This 52100 alloy bar is supplied annealed and properly prepared, so you do not need any non-standard or wasteful processes to harden it. Simply follow the recommended heat treatment recipe to achieve the desired hardness.
Yes, 52100 is an excellent high carbon steel developed for industrial bearings and is also highly suitable for making knives due to its wear resistance and strength.
The bar weighs approximately 0.91 pounds for shipping and is currently in stock, ready for purchase and delivery.
The bar is cold rolled, which typically results in a smooth surface finish and good dimensional accuracy, making it easier to machine and work with for precision applications.
