Principal Design 52100 is a high carbon, chromium containing low alloy steel that
Features is through hardening and noted in particular for use as bearings.

Applications Principal applications are those for bearings in rotating

machinery.

Machinability Machinability of 52100 alloy is good by conventional methods. A

spherodizing anneal at 1200 F before machining will improve
the overall machinability of the alloy.

Forming 52100 may be formed by all conventional methods, including

cold forging or stamping and hot or cold upset forming.

Welding No data given. This is a high carbon alloy typically used in

bearing applications where welding is not applicable or
appropriate.

Heat Treatment Heat treatment consists of heating to 1500 F followed by an oil

quench for through hardening of the alloy. A normalizing heat
treatment at 1600 F and slow cooling, to relieve machining
stress, may be employed prior to the 1500 F and quench
treatment.

Forging The alloy may be supplied as forgings and also may be

subsequently forged at 2200 F down to 1700 F

Hot Working Hot working, such as upsetting, may be done in the range of 400
to 1000 F.

Cold Working The alloy has good ductility and may be cold worked in the
annealed or normalized conditions by conventional methods.

Annealing Anneal at 1600 F and slow cool to relieve machining or cold

working strains.

Aging Not applicable to this alloy.

Tempering Temper at 400 F.

Hardening The alloy hardens from cold working or by heating and

quenching see "Heat Treatment". It also may be carburized at
1675 F and quenched after sufficient time for carburization. A
second heating to 1450 F and second quench from that
temperature should be used.
