Heat Treatment Guide & Properties

52100 is typically hardened by heating to 830-870°C followed by oil quenching and low-temperature tempering. This produces very high surface hardness with excellent wear and fatigue resistance required for bearing applications.

🔥

Annealing

800-840°C

Slow cooling to improve machinability.

🔥

Hardening

830-870°C

Oil quenching to achieve maximum hardness.

🔥

Tempering

150-250°C

Relieves stresses while maintaining hardness.

IronBalance

52100 contains approximately 0.95–1.10% carbon and 1.30–1.60% chromium, providing high hardness and excellent wear resistance after heat treatment. The chromium improves hardenability and fatigue performance, making it one of the most widely used bearing steels worldwide.

■ Mechanical Properties

PropertyValue
Tensile Strength760-900 MPa (annealed typical)
Yield Strength400-600 MPa (annealed typical)
Elongation20% min (annealed)
Hardness60-67 HRC (hardened condition)

After proper heat treatment, 52100 develops very high hardness and compressive strength with excellent rolling contact fatigue resistance. These properties make it ideal for bearings and precision components subjected to cyclic loading.
