Louis Metals is a reputable manufacturer and supplier of Alloy Steel AISI 52100 Bars and Rods, proudly based in Houston, USA. They specialize in high-carbon, chromium-rich alloy steels, providing top-notch AISI 52100 bars and rods that are designed for precision, durability, and outstanding performance. Renowned for their exceptional wear resistance and hardness, 52100 products are commonly used in bearing and high-load applications. Louis Metals offers these bars and rods in various conditions—annealed, normalized, and heat-treated—while strictly adhering to ASTM and international quality standards. With a strong commitment to quality and timely delivery, they cater to the automotive, aerospace, bearing, and heavy machinery sectors across the nation.
Alloy Steel AISI 52100 Bars and Rods are made up of roughly 1.00% carbon and 1.30–1.60% chromium, along with trace amounts of manganese, silicon, and sulfur. This specific blend results in high hardness and remarkable wear resistance after heat treatment. When hardened, AISI 52100 boasts a tensile strength ranging from 850–1000 MPa and a yield strength of about 700 MPa. It also exhibits impressive fatigue strength and maintains dimensional stability under stress. While it’s not the best choice for welding, its exceptional hardness and strength make it a top pick for precision components that endure high stress and rotational loads.
