The invention belongs to the technical field of
metallurgy, and particularly relates to a bearing steel
pickling, phosphating and saponifying method. The bearing steel
pickling, phosphating and saponifying method comprises the steps of
pickling, washing,
lime treatment, spheroidizing annealing, pickling, rinsing, secondary washing,
oxalic acid treatment, phosphating, rinsing, saponifying and
drying. Before annealing, a
lime pickling process is added, so that
oxide scales on the surface of a wire can be washed away, and a quick
drying function is achieved; and during spheroidizing annealing, RXgas is added as a protective
atmosphere for carburization, so that a stable and reliable furnace
atmosphere can be formed, and zero
decarburization of a bearing steel wire in a furnace can be achieved. According to bearing steel treated through the pickling, phosphating and saponifying method,
decarburization can be controlled to be within 1D%, the
pearlite spheroidized structure is at the level2-3, and the bearing steel is suitable for high-speed cold heading
machining.
