The invention discloses a processing method for an inner-ring-free cylindrical roller bearing alloy steel solid retainer, and relates to the technological field of bearings. The problems that after anexisting bearing retainer processing process, the working accuracy of a pocket hole of the bearing retainer and the surface roughness of the pocket hole do not reach the standard, and rolling surfacecan generate cracks in the lock opening rolling process are solved. The processing method comprises the following processes of lathe forming, hardening and tempering, rough grinding of the outer diameter, fine lathing of the two end faces, fine lathing of the inner diameter, even grinding of the two end faces, final grinding of the outer diameter, final grinding of the inner diameter, turning ofinner steps, marking, drilling, milling of square holes, pulling of the square holes, deburring, cleaning, stress relief annealing, glazing, lock opening rolling, dynamic balancing, magnetic powder inspection, silver plating, final inspection and packaging. According to the processing method, stress relief annealing is carried out before lock opening rolling is carried out, and the cracks generated by machining stress superposition and a surface cold hardening layer on the rolling surface are avoided. The processing method is suitable for processing the inner-ring-free cylindrical roller bearing alloy steel solid retainer.
