Hard Wear-Resistant 52100 Alloy Steel Balls

- Yield Strength: 295,000 psi
- Hardness: Rockwell C60 (Very Hard)
- Fabrication: Cold Worked
- Specifications Met: See table
High carbon and chromium content makes this 52100 alloy steel extremely hard and resistant to wear. It’s also known as chrome steel. Often used as bearings, these balls are hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance.
Balls that meet ASTM A295 are manufactured to these standards for quality and performance.
Certificates with a traceable lot number are available for these products. Download certificates from ORDER HISTORY after your order ships.

Tight-Tolerance Hard Wear-Resistant 52100 Alloy Steel Balls

- Yield Strength: 295,000 psi
- Hardness: Rockwell C60 (Very Hard)
- Specifications Met: ASTM A295
The diameter of these balls is held to a precise tolerance. They’re made from 52100 alloy steel, also known as chrome steel, which has high levels of carbon and chromium to make them extremely hard and resistant to wear. Often used as bearings, these balls are also hardened to increase their abrasion and impact resistance. They’re manufactured to ASTM A295 standards for quality and performance.

Low-Carbon Steel Balls

- Yield Strength: 44,000 psi
- Hardness: Rockwell C60 (Very Hard)
Low-carbon steel balls are our easiest steel balls to machine. They are often used for parts that don’t require high strength, such as knobs. These balls can be surface hardened with heat treating for added wear resistance.

Ball Bore Gauge Sets

Keep over two dozen different ball diameters on hand to check bore sizes or use as go/no-go gauges. For accuracy, they’re precision ground to tight tolerances. These sets include two balls for each diameter, so you can cross-check accuracy, measure multiple spots at the same time, or swap them out after they wear. They're often used to test engine cylinders, machine components, and turbines where deviations in roundness or size can lead to wear. You can also use them to find the taper of a bore or the diameter of a countersunk hole.
To find your bore’s ID, set a ball that’s slightly smaller than your bore into the hole. With a measuring tool, determine how big the gap is between the ball and the edge of the hole. Add that measurement to the ball’s diameter to calculate the ID.
