Technical Specifications
Product Overview
Metallurgical Characteristics
EN 100CrMo7 is a through-hardening bearing steel with exceptional hardenability due to its chromium and molybdenum content. The high carbon content (0.95-1.05%) provides the necessary hardness for bearing applications, while chromium (1.35-1.65%) enhances wear resistance and hardenability. Molybdenum (0.15-0.25%) improves toughness and reduces temper brittleness, making this steel ideal for high-stress bearing applications.
Heat Treatment Process
MetalZenith's proprietary heat treatment process begins with spheroidizing annealing at 750-780°C to optimize machinability. Hardening is performed at 820-860°C followed by oil quenching to achieve martensitic structure. Tempering at 150-200°C provides the optimal balance of hardness (60-64 HRC) and toughness. Controlled cooling rates and atmosphere management ensure minimal distortion and optimal microstructure.
Manufacturing Process
Production begins with electric arc furnace melting followed by ladle metallurgy for precise chemistry control. Vacuum degassing removes hydrogen and reduces inclusion content. Continuous casting or ingot casting is followed by hot rolling or forging to achieve desired dimensions. MetalZenith's controlled cooling and heat treatment processes ensure consistent properties throughout the material cross-section.
Quality Standards & Testing
All EN 100CrMo7 products undergo comprehensive testing including chemical analysis, mechanical property verification, ultrasonic inspection, and cleanliness rating per ASTM E45. Fatigue testing validates bearing life performance. MetalZenith maintains full traceability from raw materials through final inspection, with certificates of compliance provided for all shipments. Our quality management system ensures consistent performance meeting international bearing industry standards.
