Abstract:

The basis of this study is a 4” OD bearing ring, made of AISI 52100 steel. A large number of these bearing rings were failing during the press quenching process, as seen in the table. Large circumferential cracks could be seen in the bearing race in over half of the parts after quench and temper.
