Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent specific peel to be caused by the material of a bearing ring in a grease sealed bearing of electric equipment of automobile by making a fixation side bearing ring of the bearing of the steel including Cr at a predetermined %. CONSTITUTION:An outer ring 2 is made of the steel including Cr at 1.5-6%. An inner ring 1 can be made of the same material, but in consideration of cost, the inner ring 1 is made of the general bearing steel. Since the steel including Cr at 1.5-6% forms the strong and dense Cr oxide film, which has an effective thickness, on the metal surface, the rolling surface of the bearing is non- activated to restrict decomposition of the grease. Intrusion of hydrogen to be generated by decomposition of the grease into the steel is also prevented to prevent specific peel.

2. Description of the Related Art When a grease-filled bearing used for an electric component of an automobile or an auxiliary component is rotated at a high speed under a high load,
Unlike surface peeling / surface layer peeling due to metal fatigue on the rolling surface of the bearing, a unique peeling phenomenon that occurs from a deep portion inside considerably appears, which is the cause of shortening the life of the grease-filled bearing.

As described above in the applicant's application (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-19061), the above-mentioned peculiar peeling causes the mirror surface wear of the rolling surface due to the vibration due to the high speed of the bearing, The reason is that the formation of a new surface by means of catalysis decomposes the grease, and the hydrogen generated at that time penetrates into the steel, causing hydrogen embrittlement.

The above-mentioned means of forming an oxide film on the rolling contact surface of the bearing is one effective means for preventing specific exfoliation, but in order to form an oxide film, for example, It requires a laborious process of immersing the bearing ring in an aqueous solution of caustic soda under low temperature heating to form a ferrosoferric oxide film.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is used at least on the fixed side of an inner race ring (hereinafter inner ring) or an outer race ring (hereinafter outer ring) of a grease-filled bearing. The means of forming the bearing ring from steel containing 1.5 to 6% Cr was adopted.

In the steel containing 1.5 to 6% Cr, a dense and dense oxide film of Cr [FeCrO 4 ] is formed on the metal surface, so that the rolling surface becomes inactive. Therefore, the decomposition of grease is suppressed. Even if the grease is decomposed, hydrogen generated at that time is prevented from entering the steel. That is, the material of the bearing ring itself forms an oxide film to prevent specific peeling.
