in the step 10), slow cooling is carried out in a slow cooling pit, the temperature of the steel bar is 510-630 ℃ when the steel bar enters the slow cooling pit, and the temperature of the steel bar is not higher than 150 ℃ when the steel bar is discharged from the slow cooling pit;
step 11), the isothermal spheroidizing annealing specifically comprises the following steps: heating the steel bar to 780-810 ℃, then preserving heat for 3-6 hours, then slowly cooling with the furnace at a cooling rate of 10-25 ℃/h until the furnace is cooled to 690-750 ℃, then preserving heat for 4-6 hours, and then taking the steel bar out of the furnace for air cooling.
Preferably, the outer diameter of the finished product of the rare earth bearing steel after isothermal spheroidizing annealing is 30-70 mm;
the rare earth bearing steel comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 0.95 to 1.05 percent of C, 0.15 to 0.35 percent of Si, 0.25 to 0.45 percent of Mn, 1.40 to 1.65 percent of Cr, less than or equal to 0.0015 percent of Ti, less than or equal to 0.0008 percent of O, 0.0010 to 0.0030 percent of RE, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities;

Preferably, the microstructure in the finished rare earth bearing steel prepared after isothermal spheroidizing annealing is a fine, uniform and completely spheroidized pearlite structure which is not higher than 3.0 grade, and the network shape and the belt shape of carbides in the rare earth bearing steel are not higher than 2.0 grade.
The application obtains the following beneficial technical effects:
1) the method adopts controlled rolling and controlled cooling, the three stages of rough rolling, intermediate rolling and finish rolling all adopt controlled rolling, and the finish rolling in the two-phase region is divided into two sections of controlled cooling before and after the reduction sizing mill group; a large number of researches show that the cooling speed after rolling is a main factor influencing the rare earth bearing steel structure; in the cooling process after the finish rolling deformation, the diameter of the pearlite pellets and the interlayer spacing are reduced along with the increase of the cooling speed; the temperature range of the rare earth bearing steel reticular carbide precipitation is 650-850 ℃, and a large amount of precipitation is concentrated at 700-750 ℃;
the influence of the controlled cooling process on the spheroidization of the rare earth bearing steel can be summarized as follows:
(1.1) the austenitizing temperature can be reduced, and the layered pearlite breaking time is shortened, so that the spheroidization is accelerated, the isothermal spheroidization annealing period is shortened, and the energy consumption is reduced;
(1.2) improving the isothermal spheroidizing annealing quality, so that the particle size of carbides and the average carbide spacing MSP (mixed-stress relief) are reduced, and the sphericity is improved, thereby prolonging the contact fatigue life of the rare earth bearing steel;
ensuring that the structure is fine flaky pearlite, avoiding the generation of quenched martensite and inhibiting the precipitation of net-shaped carbide, wherein the reasonable process is that after the final rolling deformation, the cooling speed is controlled to be 5-10 ℃/s, and the temperature range of the net-shaped carbide in which a large amount of net-shaped carbide is precipitated is avoided as much as possible by cooling after the final rolling;
the deformation of austenite grains can be effectively increased by rolling in a two-phase region, and dispersed carbides are separated out;
after rolling, water cooling is accelerated, the steel rapidly passes through a sensitive temperature range where a large amount of carbide is separated out, the kinetic and thermodynamic conditions of carbide separation are inhibited, and the separation of the net-shaped carbide can be effectively reduced;
the water cooling area is divided into two sections, one section is arranged between the finishing mill group and the reducing and sizing mill group, and the other section is arranged after the finishing mill group comes out of the reducing and sizing mill group;
controlling the surface red returning temperature of the steel bar after the two-stage water cooling to be not more than 650 ℃, wherein the red returning temperature range is 570-650 ℃, and at the moment, the center part of the rare earth bearing steel round bar is about 600-700 ℃, which is just a temperature region for converting austenite into pearlite;
2) quickly feeding the rare earth bearing steel into a slow cooling pit for slow cooling, after controlled rolling and controlled cooling, performing segmentation, quick collection and sizing on the rare earth bearing steel, then performing slow cooling on the rare earth bearing steel in the slow cooling pit, wherein the temperature of the rare earth bearing steel fed into the slow cooling pit is about 600 ℃, and the temperature of the rare earth bearing steel discharged from the slow cooling pit is not higher than 150 ℃;
after rolling, slow cooling can greatly reduce the structural stress and the thermal stress generated in the accelerated cooling process of the rare earth bearing steel, can prevent white spots, can effectively promote pearlite transformation and prevent the super-cooling from generating a martensite structure.
3) Isothermal spheroidizing annealing, wherein isothermal spheroidizing annealing is carried out on the rare earth bearing steel after the slow cooling pit is formed, and the rare earth bearing steel is in an optimal spheroidizing heating temperature range of 790-800 ℃ by considering the influence of rare earth on tissue transformation; if the heating temperature is too high, a large amount of carbide is dissolved, the core serving as spheroidizing crystal is small, and the spheroidized crystal is coarse spherical pearlite or a part of lamellar structure; if the heating temperature is lower, flaky pearlite which is not transformed can still be remained in the structure after isothermal spheroidizing annealing;
the main purposes of isothermal spheroidizing annealing are to reduce the hardness, facilitate cutting processing, improve the comprehensive mechanical property of heat treatment, eliminate work hardening and increase the plasticity; secondly, fine particle pearlite which is uniformly distributed is obtained and is ready for quenching; the optimal treatment process is isothermal spheroidizing annealing;
in the rare earth bearing steel, the shape, size, quantity and distribution of carbide have great influence on the final service performance, and the structure form of the carbide after isothermal spheroidizing annealing is difficult to change through quenching and tempering; therefore, the isothermal spheroidizing annealing process should be strictly controlled to completely spheroidize the carbide, so as to promote the carbide to be in smaller spherical particles and be uniformly distributed on the ferrite matrix, and the structure has the characteristics of good machinability, and fine and uniformly distributed residual carbide after quenching and tempering.
In conclusion, the microstructure of the rare earth bearing steel after controlled rolling and controlled cooling, slow cooling pit slow cooling and isothermal spheroidizing annealing is a fine, uniform and completely spheroidized pearlite structure, and the qualified grade can reach the grade of 5 th grade figures 2-3 in GB/T18254-2016 high-carbon chromium rare earth bearing steel; the net shape and the strip shape of the carbide are respectively not more than 2.0 grades according to the 6 th grade and the 8 th grade, and are superior to the standard of super-grade high-quality steel; the contact fatigue life of the rare earth bearing steel after the thermomechanical treatment can reach 3-5 multiplied by 10 under the contact stress of not more than 4.5GPa7
The rare earth bearing steel has the following main advantages: (a) based on the components of GCr15, 0.0010-0.0030 percent of RE is added, so that steel quality and spheroidized inclusions can be effectively purified, microalloying is realized, and the fatigue life is long; (b) the microstructure and carbide of the rare earth bearing steel designed and produced by adopting the components and the thermomechanical treatment process are more uniformly distributed, and the pearlite structure is fully spheroidized, fine and uniform;
