Abstract
The purpose of this work is the preparation of high carbon Bearing steels, based on chemical composition of AISI52100/DIN 100Cr6, containing 0,8 - 1,0 % Si. This proposal is based on the same idea of silicon enrichment of SAE 4340 steel leading to the developmento of 300M steel for aerospace application, reaching better toghness and increasing the Tempered Martensite Embrittlement (TME…
