AISI 5135 is listed in the CHROMIUM STEEL material family. The reference data below should be checked against the governing product specification, product form and delivery condition before selection or certification.
The reference chemistry table for AISI 5135 lists Carbon (C): Grade-specific / specification dependent; Silicon (Si): Grade-specific / specification dependent; Manganese (Mn): Grade-specific / specification dependent; Chromium (Cr): Grade-specific / specification dependent. Confirm exact limits and analysis tolerances against the governing standard and product form.
The mechanical-property table for AISI 5135 lists Tensile Strength: Specification / condition dependent MPa; Yield Strength: Specification / condition dependent MPa; Elongation: Specification / condition dependent %; Hardness: Specification / condition dependent HB / HRC. These are reference entries; supplied condition, dimensions, test method and governing specification control the requirements, and the figures are not design allowables.
No one-to-one Werkstoff number was verified for AISI 5135 in the cross-reference sources checked for this update. Confirm any proposed EN alternative against the governing specification.

Indicative physical-property values for alloy steels; exact values vary by grade and should be confirmed from the relevant specification.
Chromium steels are alloy steels selected for improved hardenability, wear resistance and mechanical performance compared with plain carbon steels. Exact characteristics vary with the individual grade, product form and heat-treatment condition.
Chromium can increase hardenability and support heat-treated mechanical properties.
Selected chromium grades are used where resistance to wear and surface damage is important.
Properties depend strongly on section size, austenitizing, quenching and tempering practice.
The family includes carburizing grades, through-hardening grades and specialty bearing steel such as AISI 52100.
AISI 5135 belongs to the chromium steel family and is selected for applications where the relevant strength, hardenability, wear resistance or toughness requirements are met by the specified grade and condition.
Used across a wide range of power-transmission and machine components.
AISI 52100 is widely associated with bearing applications when specified and processed appropriately.
Selected 51xx grades are used for resilient and spring components.
Used in axles, pins, gears and other vehicle components.
Select the exact AISI 5135 specification, product form and supply condition according to the required strength, toughness, wear resistance and service environment.
Heat-treatment parameters are grade-specific. Use the applicable specification and qualified processing procedure for hardening, tempering or case hardening.
Final mechanical properties depend on grade, section size and material condition. Confirm the required tensile strength, yield strength and hardness before selection.
No one-to-one Werkstoff number was verified for AISI 5135 in the cross-reference sources checked for this update, so this page does not assign a number. Confirm any proposed EN alternative against the applicable product standard and supplier certificate before substitution.
The listed alloy-steel and tool-steel grades are generally selected for heat-treated service, but the exact treatment depends on the grade and required material condition.
Typical uses depend on the exact grade and condition and may include machinery parts, gears, shafts, fasteners, tooling or spring components within the relevant material family.
Use the applicable AISI, SAE or other governing specification and the material certificate for the supplied product form and condition.
