Definitions
- lt is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide an ultra-high strength steel, particularly suitable for the manufacture of bearings, that is characterized-by improved fatigue strength over steels conventionally used for the purpose.
- Yet another object of the invention is to provide a bearing steel that is characterized by good fatigue strength without the addition of costly metal alloying elements in amounts greater than those used in conventional bearing steels.
- FIG. 2 is a graph showing the results of a high-sulfur steel of the invention when compared with a conventional bearing steel in a Rolling Fatigue Bearing Test
- FIG. 3 presents curves showing the improved fatigue life of the high-sulfur steel of the invention when compared with bearing steel not having a significant sulfur addition in accordance with the present invention.
- compositions listed in the following Table 11 were produced for testing with respect to fatigue life.
- the melting was done in three steps. First, a 17- pound ingot of the base composition was poured. Then a sulfur addition in the form of elemental sulfur was made to bring the melt to a sulfur level of 0.05 percent. The sulfur was allowed to mix in the melt, and a second ingot was then cast. Another sulfur addition was made (to the 0.12 percent level) and the procedure was repeated. In this manner, three ingots, all with the same base composition except for the sulfur content, were obtained. These are indicated as Steel A, B, and C in Table II. These ingots were forged to five-eighths-inchsquare bars from which test specimens were prepared.
- the specimens were heat treated to a hardness of about R 61 to 62 by austenitizing at 1,550F, oil-quenching and tempering at 350F. 1 5' i
- individual IOO-pound heats were induction melted with sulfur contents of 0.01 percent and 0.043 percent; these steels are identified as Steels D and B, respectively, in Table 11. These steels were forged to 3- /-inch-round bars. Discs were cut from the bars and machined into flat washer-shaped specimens (2-31/2l-inch OD, 2- 1/32-inch 1D, and 7/32-inch thickness) and heat treated as described above for the samples of Steels A, B, and C.
- test specimen is a flat washer-shaped disc of 2-3l/32-inch GD, 2- l/32-inch ID, 7/32-inch thickness.
- the specimen is inserted into a standard thrust bearing and serves in place of the upper race of the bearing.
- a load of 750 pounds is applied to the bearing by means of a lever system; this results in a Hertzian compressive stress of 563,000 psi in the test specimen.
- Steady lubrication is provided during testing.
- the standard operating speed of 1,500 rpm was maintained during testing.
- the testing is continued to failure, which is indicated by a vibrationsensing device, or to runout at 50 X 10 revolutions (550 hours).
- An ultra-high strength steel particularly suited for the manufacture of bearings, consisting essentially of, in percent, about 0.75 to 1.10 carbon, 0.25 to l manganese, up to 0.9 silicon, up to 2 chromium, up to 1.20 molybdenum, with the sum of chromium and molybdenum being at least 0.50, more than 0.04 to 0.25 sulfur, and the balance iron.
