Steels for Bearings

Steels Suitable for Cold Forming and Production of Bearing Parts

The steels for cold deformation possess a chemical composition with low carbon and an analytical balance that improves the possibility of obtaining cold forged pieces even with large deformations. The steel for bearings most commonly used for the production of ball bearings, rollers, rings, and pieces for bearings, both by chip removal and cold deformation.

  Base steel for the production of balls, rollers and rings for bearings, and for all small parts that must be subjected to localized and repeated loads. The high carbon and chromium content allows high hardness and perfectly transformed structures to be obtained after tempering. When it must be machined by chip removal or cold deformation, it must always be provided at the globulization annealing state.
