Abstract

Abstract: Effect of bainite isothermal quenching process on the distorsion and fracture toughness of GCr15 steel bearing rings was analyzed by using finite element simulation and experimental methods, where the numerical simulation of the bainite quenching process for bearing rings was carried out by using Deform-3D software. Taking cylindrical roller bearing NJ308 as the research object, the maximum distorsion after simulated heat treatment is 0.08 mm. Compared with the experimental results, the simulation error is 14%. Based on the bainite quenching process experiment, the distorsion of the bearing diameter is measured to be 0.07 mm, which is much smaller and more uniform than that after the conventional martensite quenching, and is beneficial for subsequent grinding processing. The fracture test results show that the fracture strength of the bearing rings after conventional martensite quenching and tempering process is 113.3 kN, while that after the bainite quenching treatment is significantly improved to 152.7 kN.

Key words: heat treatment, bainite tsothermal quenching, fracture strength, Deform-3D software
