Cold-Drawn Alloy Steel Bearing Tube 52100 from Japan
Seamless cold-drawn tube made from 52100 alloy steel, with precise dimensions and high surface finish suitable for machining into inner or outer races of ball bearings. This falls under HTS 7304.51.10.00 due to its circular cross-section, cold-formed process, and specific design for bearing manufacture. The material's high carbon-chromium composition ensures durability under rolling contact stress.

Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates verifying 52100 alloy composition and seamless cold-drawn process to customs for classification verification
• Ensure dimensional tolerances meet bearing industry standards (e.g
• ISO 286) to avoid reclassification as general-purpose tubing
