In general, in a rolling bearing, one of the factors that shortens the life of the rolling bearing is, for example, inclusion of foreign matter in the bearing lubricating oil. As is well known, for example, lubricating oil for transmission contains foreign matters such as metal chips, shavings, burrs, etc., in addition to wear powder such as gear wear. Below, these foreign substances will damage the rolling elements of the bearing and the surfaces of the bearing rings. When this damage occurs, cracks may be generated from the damaged portion at an early stage, leading to flaking, and the life of the bearing is greatly reduced. The life of the bearing under lubrication with foreign matter may be reduced to about several tenths of that in a clean lubrication environment without foreign matter.

そこで、異物混入潤滑環境における軸受寿命の向上を
図るため各種の従来例が存在する。
Therefore, there are various conventional examples in order to improve the life of the bearing in a lubricating environment in which foreign matters are mixed.

Increase the carburized hardened layer depth of the race and the rolling elements. For example, C: 0.15 to 0.4% by weight of carburized steel is subjected to a long-time carburizing heat treatment to form a deep carburized hardened layer. By forming the carburized hardened layer deeply, indentations are less likely to be formed on the raceway surface of the race and the rolling surface of the rolling element, and the life of the bearing is improved. (JP-A-62-132031).
