AISI 1050 HRc 50-55 material substitute
AISI 1050 HRc 50-55 material substitute
(OP)
Hello,
I have been watching this forum for months and find it very informative. I finally need some help and thus my post.
I am making a bearing race and the print calls for AISI 1050 HRc 50 to 55. I am having trouble finding AISI 1050 in 6" diameter and I am looking for a material substitute with similar properties.
I thought about using AISI 1045 and heat treat to HRc 50 but have been told that this is a bad idea due to brittleness.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
