The case-hardening steel represented by 20 is generally used. On the other hand, for large-sized carburized bearing parts, SNCM420 and SNCM815 of alloy composition enriched with Ni and Mo are intended to increase hardness after carburizing and quenching and to improve rolling life and impact strength. Ni-Mo containing steel is used.

In particular, in order to manufacture large bearing parts,
From the viewpoint of ensuring the strength of parts and improving the rolling life, it is necessary to cause martensitic transformation to the central portion during carburizing and quenching to obtain sufficient hardness. However, if SCr420 is used for large bearing parts, even if carburizing and quenching treatment is performed, quenching will be insufficient and martensite transformation will not occur up to the center of the part, so strength as a part cannot be secured and sufficient rolling life will be achieved. Can't get
This is the reason why SNCM815 and SNCM420 are used.

In recent years, with the increase in engine output and rotation speed, bearing parts have come to be used under severe conditions of high load, and this tendency is increasing year by year. Under such circumstances, there arises a problem that conventional rolling bearing components made of SCr420 or the like cannot obtain sufficient rolling life characteristics, and there is a strong demand for improving the life of carburized bearing components. However, materials with excellent life characteristics are required. On the other hand, the downsizing of machines, and hence the downsizing of bearing parts, is also progressing, and there is a demand for the supply of materials that provide bearings that are small and can withstand high loads.

Si: 0.5% or less Si is used as a deoxidizing agent for steel and is an element that imparts hardenability and temper softening resistance to steel, but if added in excess, cold workability and machinability Significantly reduces sex. S
Excessive inclusion of i not only impairs carburization but also promotes intergranular oxidation, which causes reduction in toughness and rolling life. For this reason, the upper limit of Si content is 0.5%.

Mn: 0.3 to 1.5% Mn is a deoxidizing / desulfurizing element and also an element for improving hardenability. In order to improve such effects, especially hardenability, 0.3% or more is added. Even if added in a large amount, the effect is saturated and the machinability and cold workability are rather deteriorated. Therefore, the upper limit of the content is made 1.5%.

Even if added in a large amount, the effect is saturated and the price is only increased, so the upper limit of the content is set to 2.0%.

Ni: 0.5 to 1.5% An element that plays an important role in the present invention. Ni
Improves the hardenability of steel and facilitates the quenching process even for large parts. At the same time, it is an element that improves toughness and rolling life, and it is possible to combine these characteristics in a well-balanced manner by adding an appropriate amount of Ni. To obtain this effect, 0.5% or more is added, but if added in a large amount, the softening treatment before machining becomes difficult,
Machinability is greatly reduced and cold workability is also reduced. Excessive addition of Ni also causes a price increase, so the upper limit of the content is set at 1.5%.

To obtain this effect, 0.05% or more is added. Even if added over 0.5%, the effect is saturated and the price increases significantly, so the content is limited to 0.5%.

Nb: 0.1% or less and V: 0.5% or less of 1 type or 2 types Nb and V form carbide, nitride or carbonitride precipitates in the matrix, and are used for carburizing treatment. It has the effect of suppressing the growth of austenite grains during high temperature heating, and as a result,
Improves toughness and rolling life. Therefore,
It may be added alone or in combination within the range of 0.1% and 0.5%. Even if Nb and V are added excessively, the effects thereof are saturated, the hot workability and the machinability are lowered, and the price is increased.

Retained austenite: 7 to 25% By setting the amount of residual austenite remaining after the carburizing and quenching-tempering treatment within the range of 7 to 25%, toughness can be prevented and rolling life can be improved.
When the amount of retained austenite is less than 7%, the toughness tends to be good, but the rolling life tends to be short, and when it exceeds 25%, both the toughness and the rolling life are inferior.

In order to adjust the amount of retained austenite to 7 to 25%, the conditions of carburizing and quenching-tempering may be appropriately selected. Normally, carburizing and quenching are performed at a temperature of 910 to 950 ° C. for 3 to 7 hours, and tempering is performed at a temperature of 150 to 20.
Good results can be obtained if the conditions are 0 ° C. and 1 to 2 hours. The optimum conditions differ depending on the alloy composition and the dimensions of the bearing parts to be manufactured, so some experimentation should be used to determine the optimum conditions.

From Table 2, the steels having the alloy composition of the present invention are shown in Comparative Example Nos. SNCM420 shown in 19 and 20

The hardness at the above distance is low. When carburizing, the carbon content of the surface layer of parts is 0.6%
In order to raise it to about 0.8%, it is not necessary to consider the carbon content of the base material considering only the surface hardness, but it is necessary to secure the internal hardness from the viewpoint of component strength. If so, it is necessary to include 0.1% or more of carbon according to the present invention.

For the rolling life test, a cylindrical rolling life tester was used, and 20 test pieces were repeatedly tested under a test stress of 5880 MPa. Measure the number of repetitions until the test piece is damaged,
The L10 life was defined as the number of damage cycles at which the cumulative damage probability was 10%, organized by Weibull probability. The results are shown in Table 3. The value of rolling life is No. 20 (comparative example) S
When each L10 life of NCM815 was set to 1, that of each steel was shown by a relative value.
