Rolling Contact Fatigue Evaluation of Advanced Bearing Steels
SourceA series of rolling contact fatigue tests were performed on nine advanced rolling element bearing materials and processes in combination with three lubricants (an unformulated ester base stock, a qualified MIL-L-23699, and an advanced MIL-L-23699-type lubricant) in order to determine their rolling contact fatigue performance. The performance of each material was compared with the performance of a baseline AMS-6490 (AISI M-50) steel. The results indicate that (1) all of the test materials and processes perform at least as well as AMS-6490, (2) the best performing materials were a powder-processed CRB-7 and an AMS-5749, and (3) the performance of one material (CBS-1000M) improved with the use of fully formulated lubricants.
