2. Description of the Related Art Delayed fracture is generated from hydrogen invading from a service environment or the like in a tensile stress state such as a bolt, and material measures such as tempering hardness and adjustment of alloying elements are often taken. In the bearings used in the field, delayed fracture was not a serious problem. However, early breakage due to hydrogen entering from heat treatment or use atmosphere has recently become a problem, and although lubricating oil has been changed, such materials as described above have tensile strength. 140-150 strength
(equivalent to 43 to 45 HRC in terms of hardness in kgf / mm 2 ), the bearing cannot withstand a high load like a bearing or the like, and no countermeasures have been taken from a bearing material excellent in delayed fracture resistance.

Means for Solving the Problems While studying the delayed fracture behavior of bearing steel intensely, the inventors have found that hydrogen in steel that causes delayed fracture is trapped by fine Ti-based precipitates. It has been found that it can be invalidated to increase the resistance to delayed fracture and prolong the service life. In this case, it has been found that the smaller the particle diameter of the precipitate, the stronger the force for trapping hydrogen, and it is effective to disperse as uniformly and finely as possible. However, increasing the amount of addition alone does not increase the effective fine precipitates, but instead increases the coarsening, weakens the hydrogen trapping power, and also causes stress concentration to deteriorate the life characteristics and the like. It was found that it was necessary to optimize the production conditions for the production of steel and steel products.
