A steel material which contains 0.16 to 0.19% of carbon by mass, 0.15 to 0.35% of silicon by mass, 0.20 to 1.55% of manganese by mass, and 2.5 to 3.2% of chromium by mass, of which remaining part is formed of iron and incidental impurities, and which contains 0.01 to 0.2% of nickel by mass as an incidental impurity and higher than or equal to 0.001% and lower than 0.15% of molybdenum by mass as an incidental impurity, and which has a hardenability index of higher than or equal to 5.4 is subjected to a carbonitriding step, a process annealing step, a quenching step, a tempering step and a finishing step. Thus, there is obtained a rolling sliding member made of the steel material, and having satisfactory corrosion resistance and crack resistance and having a sufficiently long useful life even under an environment where rust is easily formed. |
