<p>Method for producing a rolling bearing component, such as a rolling bearing ring from the 1C-1.5Cr type series steel as well as a rolling bearing component produced by said method. At least the surface of the rolling bearing component has a bainitic structure. It has been found that the service life of said structure is considerably increased over a component not subjected to cold rolling. Preferably a lower bainitic structure is used which can be obtained starting form usual 1C-1.5Cr type steel in ferritic condition. Before austenizing the steel is subjected to cold deformation. Quenching is such that the bainitic structure is obtained.</p> |
