Evek GmbH offers to buy steel for bearings at a favorable price from the manufacturer. The supplier guarantees quality and compliance of the material with the customer's requirements, as well as delivery of rolled products to any location specified by the customer

Features of chemical composition of bearing steels

Bearings are constantly subjected to intensive corrosion-mechanical wear during their operation. The friction zone is constantly exposed to temperatures of 100...^1500°C. Accordingly, steels for bearings should be selected from the following nomenclature:

• For normal operating conditions - chromium steels of type SHX20 or SHX15 GOST 801;
• For bearings working in aggressive environments, at high temperatures and sliding speeds - high-alloy steels of 11Х18МШД, 8Х4ВМ4Ф1ШД and the like.

Foreign analogues of the above steels are as follows: in Europe - steel grades 100Cr6, 102Cr6, USA - steel G52896. The characteristic feature of steels for bearing production is the carbon content not less than 0.8...1.5%, and also presence of chromium and molybdenum that increases the wear resistance. The steels are produced by progressive technology of vacuum-arc or electroslag remelting.

Evek GmbH offers to buy steel for bearings in any range of grades and profiles. Economically advantageous prices from the manufacturer are valid.

Application

The bearing steels listed above are high strength and hardness grades, so they are machined and plastically deformed after softening annealing. If this is not possible, the initial rolled products - bars, strips, sheets - are subjected to hot or semi-hot deformation by heating the blanks in an oxid-free atmosphere.

The weldability of Sh20, G52896, 102Cr6 or Sh15 steels is reduced, so they are not suitable for manufacturing composite structures.

Evek GmbH offers to buy bearing steels at advantageous price from the manufacturer. The supplier provides the required assortment level of products - sheet, strip, strip, bar, and guarantees prompt delivery of rolled metal products to the consumer.
