EN-31
EN31 is a high-carbon, high-chromium alloy steel known for its high hardness, wear resistance, and compressive strength. It's often used in applications requiring these properties, such as bearings, cutting tools, and other wear-resistant machine components. EN31 is also known as 100Cr6 or SAE 52100 steel.
