Status and Future Development of Metallurgical Quality and Performance of Bearing Steels for High-End Equipment

Focusing on the characteristics of rolling bearings, the types of bearing steels, and the gap between bearing steels at home and abroad, this paper summarizes the art of the status of the requirement of the bearing steel of the high-end equipment, the types of the bearing steels, the processing equipment and metallurgical quality of the bearing steels, the heat treatment technologies, and the evaluation technologies for both metallurgical quality and performance. It is put forward that the important role to improve the rolling contact life of the bearing steel by ultra-purification technologies among different melting routes, the new heat treatment technologies and the new bearing steel developments. This paper pointed out that it needs to be done in the future through the refinement, the homogenization and the stabilization of the inclusions, carbides and the matrix of the bearing steel to improve the quality and performance of existing bearing steels, to develop the high performance heat treatment technologies, to innovate the high performance bearing steel and to strengthen the basic research on the mechanism of the fatigue-resistance of the bearing steels, which would finally enhances the rolling contact fatigue life of the bearing steel significantly.
