ACB 3645 5062 SS - 1.8 stainless steel, Angular Contact Headset Bearing

ACB 3645 5062 SS - 1.8 inch 440C stainless steel Angular Contact Headset Bearing (50mm 62mm x 8mm: 36 x 45 deg) - Angular-contact headset bearing featuring 440C stainless steel balls and races for superior corrosion protection. This oversized size bearing is also known as TH MR229, and has been specified on the Giant Reign e+ series bikes. Not all stainless steel is created equal.Enduro only uses 440C stainless steel balls and races to provide long life and superior corrosion resistance in applications and environments that may be less than ideal. 440C has the highest strength, hardness, and wear resistance of all the standard 440-series stainless alloys with high carbon content. As expected, it is also the most expensive of the 440 series alloys and requires special heat treatment and cryogenic treatment to achieve its superior mechanical properties. Though it is slightly softer than our standard 52100 chromium steel used in most of our bearings, stainless steel is an excellent alter
