Ck53 / Cf53 Chrome Vanadium Alloy is the chrome alloy most commonly used for hardened precision ground shafting. It is a high strength steel used for linear bearing shafting due to it's ability to be hardened and ground to very smooth finishes. This alloy is not corrosion resistant. Useful information about precision ground shafting is available in the links below and to the right of this page.
