100Cr6

DELIVERY CONDITION
Annealed.

PROPERTIES AND MOST COMMON APPLICATIONS

Steel with great wear resistance.
It has little deformation in the quenching.
A minimum of 2,5 mm. in radius is recommended to machine in order to eliminate the decarburized area.
Its most common applications are for ball bearings or rolls, woodworking tools, lathe spindle centres, reamers,
dies, bearings and grinding of hard and very abrasive materials.
