The application discloses high-purity bearing steel and application thereof, and has the following components in percentage by
mass: C 0.95%-1.05%, Si 0.45%-0.65%, Mn 0.45%-0.65%, Cr 1.10%-1.30%, trace Mo, Ni and Cu; impurities such as O≤0.0010%, S≤0.0080%, Ti≤0.0030% and Ca≤0.0010% are strictly controlled, the upper limit of single elements such as As, Sn, Sb, Pb and Bi is limited and the total amount is ≤0.035%, and the balance is iron. The application adopts medium-
silicon manganese, low-
chromium main
alloy and super-low
impurity control, greatly reduces MnS,
TiN and
oxide inclusions, suppresses residual element
grain boundary segregation, balances low-
sulfur steel
cutting performance with trace
calcium, and improves high-temperature
hardness with trace
molybdenum. After heat treatment, the
hardness is ≥HRC61, the L10 fatigue life under 4.5GPa is 2.5-3 times higher than that of conventional GCr15, and high
toughness and dimensional stability are combined. The application does not need precious
alloy, the production process is mature, and is suitable for multi-roll cold rolling
machine backing bearing, precision rolling
machine supporting
roller bearing and
wind power main shaft bearing.
