SAE 52100/100Cr6/GCr15 bearing steel

SAE 52100 bearing steel, also known as 100Cr6 (EN standard) and GCr15 (GB standard), is a high-carbon chromium alloy steel widely recognized for its exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue strength. This steel grade is the industry standard for manufacturing rolling element bearings and other components subject to high stress and repeated contact fatigue.
