Non-machined thin walled rust-free bearing component, particularly rolling bearing component

摘要

Stainless steel components for low-friction bearings, e.g. inner rings, casings or bushes (2), are made by a non-cutting method. They are produced by deep-drawing cold strip with a carbon content of 0.15 - 0.25% and a chromium content of at least 12% and which has a nitrogen-enriched martensitic structure at least along its edges. An independent claim is included for a method for making the components.
