GCr15 (100Cr6/EN31) Bearing Steel Tubes: The Heart of High-Performance Rotation

Elevate Your Bearing Life with Liaocheng’s Finest Precision Engineering.

In the world of high-speed rotation and extreme loads, the quality of your raw material determines the lifespan of your machine. Shandong Haihui Steel Industry Co., Ltd. presents the GCr15 Precision Seamless Steel Tube—a product engineered for those who refuse to compromise on durability.

Why Haihui GCr15? The Digital Difference

We don’t just sell steel; we sell certainty. Our GCr15 tubes are defined by four critical technical benchmarks that set us apart from standard suppliers:

01
Ultra-Low Oxygen Content
[O] ≤ 10ppm

Fatigue failure starts at microscopic inclusions. By utilizing LF+VD vacuum degassing refinement, we maintain oxygen levels at or below 10ppm. This ensures a “clean” steel structure with minimal non-metallic inclusions, effectively doubling the contact fatigue life of your bearings.

02
The “5-Micron” Precision
±0.03mm ~ ±0.05mm

Why waste 30% of your material in machining? Our cold-rolled GCr15 tubes achieve a dimensional tolerance as tight as ±0.03mm. This high concentricity allows for direct use in high-speed CNC automatic lathes, reducing your machining time by up to 25%.

03
Perfect Spheroidizing Annealing
Grade 2-3

Hardness is nothing without uniformity. Our protective atmosphere annealing process ensures a consistent hardness of 179-207 HB and a spheroidizing microstructure of Grade 2 or 3. This translates to excellent machinability and predictable heat treatment response during your final hardening process.

04
Mirror Internal Finish
Ra ≤ 0.4μm

For needle bearings and thin-walled bushes, surface is everything. Our tubes feature a mirror-like internal finish, reducing friction and ensuring silent operation of the final component.

Applications: Where Reliability Matters

Our GCr15 tubes are the preferred choice for:

Automotive
Wheel hub bearings, transmission gear sleeves, and steering system joints.
Precision Machinery
Spindle bearings for CNC machines and industrial robot reducers.
Energy
High-load rollers for wind turbines and heavy-duty mining equipment.

Quality Assurance: 100% Tested, 100% Trusted

We implement a digitized quality protocol for every batch:

100% NDT Testing
Combined Eddy Current (ET) and Ultrasonic (UT) testing to detect sub-surface defects.
Full Traceability
Every tube is linked to a detailed Mill Test Certificate (MTC) documenting chemical composition and mechanical properties.
Seaworthy Protection
Vacuum-sealed packaging with high-grade anti-rust oil for zero-corrosion global delivery.
