Abstract:Bearings is one of the most widely used components in industrial machinery, and the service life of bearings has been restricted by rolling contact fatigue (RCF) life for a long time. Bearing steel plays a vital role in the performance of bearings, and realizing its long-life is the key to improve the RCF life of bearings. Based on the analysis and summary of the latest development at home and abroad, the methods for the long-life design of bearing steel such as improving metallurgical quality, innovating heat treatment processes and developing new types of bearing steel were proposed, hoping to provide some theoretical basis for the bearing research in our country.
