Application Fields: GCr15 bearing steel balls are used to manufacture high-quality cutting tools such as scissors, nozzles, bearings, etc.
Features: Among domestic stainless steel grades, 440C boasts higher hardness. It is primarily used for manufacturing bearing components that operate in corrosive environments and under lubrication-free, strongly oxidizing atmospheres. 440C has good high-temperature dimensional stability, thus it can also be used as a corrosion-resistant high-temperature bearing steel.
Grade: G10-G500
Hardness HRC: 58-61
