C56E2 Ball Bearing Steel Bar
C56E2 is ISO / FDIS683-17 standard in the carbon bearing steel, equivalent to the Japanese S55C, the United States SAE1055, AISI 1055, the EU 1.1219, is a commonly used bearing steel.
The material C56E2 belongs to the material group "Unalloyed Bearing Steels". We also have the chemical analysis of C56E2 available for you below. Material "C56E2" is made of Aluminum, Carbon, Copper, Manganese, Molybdenum, Nickel, Oxygen, Phosphorus, Silicon and Sulfur. In future we plan to add mechanical properties of "C56E2", complete data-sheets as well as a PDF-Overview for you to download. For now you can easyily inquire this steel-material without obligation by using our contact-form. For correct determination of the shipping costs we need your shipping address. Please keep in mind that a detailed calculation can take a few days, depending on quantity, shipping-adress as well as forms and materials. We will contact you in any case.
