100CrMnSi6-4 Ball Bearing Steel Bar
100CrMnSi6-4 bearing steel is based on the GCr15 steel, the appropriate increase in Si, Mn content to improve its hardenability and flexibility limit, wear resistance is better than GCr15. The manufacture of rolling body is larger than GCr15, mainly for the manufacture of wall thickness> 12mm, diameter> 280mm bearing ring ball diameter> 50mm; conical, cylindrical and spherical roller diameter> 22mm and all sizes of needle.
