Latrobe CBS-223â„¢ VIM-VAR Carburizing Bearing and Gear Steel

CBS-223 VIM-VAR steel is a double vacuum melted carburizing steel with high hot hardness characteristics. Double vacuum melting sequentially combines vacuum induction melting with VACARCâ„¢ remelting to provide for superior cleanliness, which imparts improved fatigue strength and fracture toughness to the alloy. Its high hot hardness and the improved properties readily identify CBS-223 VIMVAR steel for use as gears, shafts and bearings in helicopter and other aerospace applications.Information Provided by Timken Latrobe Steel.Timken sold Latrobe in December 2006.
