GEorge Metals produce SAE 52100 round bars and rods using high-carbon chromium steel with a common composition of 1.00% carbon and 1.50% chromium. This alloy provides superior hardness, wear, and fatigue properties after heat treating. Its mechanical properties have a tensile strength of a maximum of 850–1000 MPa and a yield strength of about 540 MPa, with high hardness values that go up to 60–67 HRC when hardened. SAE 52100 has superior dimensional stability and toughness as well. These characteristics make it suitable for applications involving long service life and excellent resistance to abrasion and impact.
