1.3537 bearing steel
1.3537 steel is bearing steel. Small amount of Chromium and trace amounts of Molybdenum provides for some carbide formation, and it can hold decent polished edge.It has characteristics similar to 100Cr6 steel(1.3537 vs 100Cr6). The addition of molybdenum guarantees toughness for diameters up to 200mm.it has good wear resistance, with good non-deformability.
1.3537 Steel equivalent standards:
| W-Nr | AFNOR | UNI/DIN | GB | JIS | W-Nr |
| 1.3537 | 100CD7 | 100CrMo7 | GCr18Mo | SUJ4 | 1.2303 |
1.3537 steel mechanical properties:
Hardness in spheroidized annealing condition +AC: < 217 HB
Hardness in spheroidized annealing condition after drawing +AC+C: < 251 HB
Hardness of tubes and sleeves <321 HB
Density ρ 7,79 g/cm3
1.3537 steel Application
1.3537 works better for small to medium knives, after appropriate heat treatment might do well in a larger blade. It’s suitable for the construction of bearings,cylinders, small rolling mills, knives, etc.
