Latrobe Lescalloy® BG42 VIM-VAR High Performance Bearing Steel
Subcategory: Stainless Steel; Metal; Martensitic
Close Analogs: Timken sold Latrobe in December 2006. They are now Latrobe Specialty Steels Co.
Material Notes: LESCALLOY BG42 VIM-VAR steel is a martensitic, stainless high speed steel that combines the tempering, hot hardness and hardness retention characteristics of M50 high speed steel with the corrosion and oxidation resistance of type 440C stainless. LESCALLOY BG42 VIM-VAR is double vacuum melted (vacuum induction followed by VAC-ARC® remelting) to consistently assure good cleanliness and superior properties. Although often used for aerospace bearings and other critical applications, its excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance makes it a superior choice for use in cutlery applications.Information Provided by Timken Latrobe Steel.
