However, it has been found that the conventional rolling bearing parts have the following problems. That is, since such a rolling bearing component has a relatively high C content of 0.5 to 1.2% by weight in steel as a material thereof, the strength and hardness of the core can be secured. The toughness is inferior, and when a rolling bearing assembled using this bearing component is used in a machine that is easily subject to vibration or impact, it may be damaged. In addition, since the C content in the steel used as the material is relatively large at 0.5 to 1.2% by weight,
During the carburizing treatment, C in the carburizing atmosphere hardly penetrates into the material, so that C is collected on the surface of the obtained bearing component, and the amount of C in the surface portion is described in Examples of the above publication. As such, it actually amounts to more than 2.1% by weight. Therefore, the amount of coarse carbides and the amount of retained austenite on the surface are increased, which contributes to a decrease in strength. In addition, if C is collected on the surface of the bearing component, the carbide generated there is coarsened. Therefore, even if the average particle size is 4 μm as described in the example of the above publication, the particle size is actually Spherical carbide having a diameter exceeding 5 μm is about 30% of the whole,
In some cases, the maximum particle size is 10 μm, and as a result, stress is concentrated on the spherical carbide having a particle size exceeding 5 μm, and fracture may occur from this portion.

If the amount of C exceeds 2.0% by weight, the amount of coarse carbides on the surface and the amount of retained austenite As the amount increases, the strength decreases. When C collects on the surface of the bearing component, the carbide generated here becomes coarse, so that spherical carbide having a particle size exceeding 5 μm actually accounts for about 40% of the whole,
In some cases, the maximum particle size is 10 μm, and as a result, stress is concentrated on the spherical carbide having a particle size exceeding 5 μm, and fracture may occur from this portion. Therefore, the amount of C on the surface is in the range of 0.9 to 2.0% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 2.0% by weight.

First, the relationship between the ratio between the surface hardness of the race and the ball and the surface hardness of the foreign matter (hardness ratio R) and the rolling life L in Examples 1 to 16 and Comparative Examples 5 to 8 was determined. . The result is shown in FIG. As is apparent from FIG. 5, in the case of Examples 1 to 16, it is needless to say that the hardness ratio R is larger than 1, that is, the surface hardness of the bearing ring and the ball is larger than the surface hardness of the foreign matter. It can be seen that even when the hardness ratio R is 1 or less, the life L is extended as compared with Comparative Examples 5 to 8. In contrast, in Comparative Examples 5 to 8,
Although the hardness ratio R may be 1 or more, the life is half or less of Examples 1 to 16.

Next, the relationship between the carbide area ratio and the rolling life L in the life test was determined. FIG. 6 shows the result. As is clear from FIG. 6, in Examples 1 to 16, the lower the carbide area ratio, the longer the rolling life L tends to be. On the other hand, in the case of Comparative Examples 1 to 4, despite the low carbide area ratio, the rolling life L was low because the surface carbon amount was small and the surface hardness was less than HRC63.
Is less than half of Examples 1 to 16. Further, in the case of Comparative Examples 5 to 8, the rolling life L was shortened because the carbide area ratio was high, although the same steel as in Examples 1 to 8 was used.

Further, the relationship between the average particle diameter of the carbide and the rolling life in the life test was determined. FIG. 7 shows the result. As is clear from FIG. 7, in Examples 1 to 16, the smaller the average particle diameter of the carbide, the longer the rolling life tends to be. The tendency is particularly remarkable when the hardness ratio R is 1 or more. On the other hand, in the case of Comparative Examples 1 to 4, the rolling life L was smaller than that of Examples 1 to 4 because the surface carbon content was small and the surface hardness was less than HRC 63 despite the small carbide average particle size. 16 or less. Further, in the case of Comparative Examples 5 to 8, the rolling life L was shortened because the carbide average particle diameter was large even though the same steel as in Examples 1 to 8 was used.

In FIGS. 5 to 7, actual 1 to 16 and ratios 1 to 8 represent Examples 1 to 16 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8.

From the above results, it can be seen that the carbide area ratio and the carbide average particle diameter are both low values despite the large surface carbon content, in other words, the minute spherical carbides are contained in the carburized layer matrix. It can be seen that the roller in a state of being uniformly dispersed has a longer rolling life L.
