When machines and their components are exposed to high dynamic stress, extreme demands are imposed on the steel as well. This high stress would hardly be feasible without anti-friction-bearing steel. This is the case with gearboxes or ball bearings.

The anti-friction bearing steel is a type of stainless steel that contains alloying elements such as chromium, manganese, or nickel in addition to carbon. As the name suggests, the steel has anti-friction properties. This ensures that the components made out of anti-friction-bearing steel will ease the movements of parts.

For instance, if you consider ball bearings, they need to reduce friction, carry the load, and guide parts. For this, they need to be formed of anti-friction materials.

The anti-friction bearing steel is wear-resistant and is easy to harden. While they may show low resistance to rusting, they have a very long service life.
