AISI 52100 Ball-Bearing Steel Cold-Finished Round Bar from Canada
A cold-finished round bar made from AISI 52100 alloy steel, specifically formulated for ball-bearing applications with precise control of carbon (0.95-1.13%), chromium (1.25-1.65%), and low sulfur/phosphorus levels as defined in HTS Chapter 72 note (h). It is not further worked beyond cold-finishing, classifying it under 7228.50.1010 as a bar of ball-bearing steel. This steel provides exceptional hardness and wear resistance for bearing components.

Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates confirming ball-bearing steel composition per HTS note (h) to avoid reclassification
• Ensure documentation specifies cold-formed/cold-finished state with no further working like polishing or coating
• Verify exact alloy analysis at entry; deviations may shift to general tool steel under 7228.50.3015
