Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a bearing ring curved surface residual stress determination method and belongs to the technical field of bearing part residual stress detection. BACKGROUND

[0002] It is known that the detection and evaluation of bearing part residual stress has been a problem concerned by the bearing industry. GCr15 material is widely used in bearing manufacturing due to high and uniform hardness after quenching and tempering, high wear resistance, high anti-fatigue strength, good hot workability and good comprehensive performance. With the continuous improvement of bearing processing capacity and level, people pay more and more attention to the related common technical problems of bearings made of GCr15 material, especially the processing control and evaluation of bearing working surface residual stress.

[0003] At present, residual stress measurement methods are mainly divided into two categories: mechanical method and non-destructive testing method. Most of the non-destructive testing methods belong to physical methods, and the basic principle is as follows: based on the basic premise that residual stress will cause a change in a certain physical quantity of the material, the relationship between the physical quantity and the residual stress is established, and the residual stress is calculated by measuring the physical quantity. The destructive testing method is to remove a part of the measured workpiece by mechanical processing, and the local residual stress is released to produce corresponding strain and displacement. By using the corresponding strain and displacement, the residual stress can be determined, and the original residual stress of the workpiece can be calculated according to the related mechanical principle.

[0004] In the actual detection process of bearing processing enterprises, considering the accuracy and reliability of the detection results, the surface residual stress detection usually adopts the X-ray diffraction method, which is more accurate and is a method recognized by the industry. However, due to the high price of X-ray diffraction equipment, the detection area and depth are small, and it is difficult to measure the stress of the inner and outer surfaces of small-sized parts and the working surface with large curvature.
