That is a crown race, though it doesn't appear to be a bearing race for a loose ball headset. It looks more like the "crown race" of a cartridge bearing headset. I put crown race in quotes, because cartridge bearing headsets don't have a true crown race (that's part of the lower bearing" but rather a locating cone for the lower bearing race.
