An excellent high carbon steel. 52100 was developed for use as industrial bearings and has excellent wear resistance and strength. 52100 makes an excellent knife. This alloy and all our alloys have been properly annealed. You do not have to do any non-standard wasteful processes to harden the steel. Follow the heat treat recipe and the steel will get hard.
Return Returns Acceptable.

This rectangle bar measures 0.08 inches in thickness, 2 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 alloy elements like chromium (1.4 - 1.6%) that provide excellent wear resistance and strength.

The bar is supplied annealed, meaning it has been properly softened and does not require any non-standard or wasteful processes to harden. You can follow a standard heat treat recipe to achieve the desired hardness.

Yes, 52100 alloy is specifically developed for industrial bearings and is also excellent for knife making due to its high strength and wear resistance.

The product weighs approximately 0.55 lb with a shipping weight of 1.05 lb. It is currently in stock and available for purchase.

This rectangle bar is produced using a cold rolled process, which enhances its surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
