[0020] A quantitative design method for resisting unsteady damage of bearings includes the following steps:

[0021] Step 1: Select bearings of different materials, and set multiple different service conditions for each material bearing. Each service condition has an unsteady condition with changing working condition parameters and a steady state condition after the working condition parameters are stable. Through experiments, the unsteady damage amount w of bearings of different materials under different unsteady conditions is obtained 非稳态 and the steady damage amount w under the steady state condition 稳态 , and the unsteady damage influence factor of the bearing is calculated ;

[0026] The above is the basic implementation mode of the present invention, and further improvements, perfection, and limitations can be made on this basis: for example, the non-steady-state service conditions in Step 1 include four conditions: loading, accelerating, unloading, and decelerating.

[0027] The above is the basic implementation mode of the present invention, and further improvements, perfection, and limitations can be made on this basis: for example, the non-steady-state damage amount w of the bearing under the non-steady-state conditions described in Step 1 非稳态 and the steady-state damage amount w under steady-state conditions 稳态 , according to the equal Hertz contact stress design principle, obtain the test load F under the reciprocating sliding test conditions from the load in the rolling non-steady-state test. The sliding speed v in the reciprocating sliding test is the linear velocity difference between the driving wheel and the steel ball in the rolling non-steady-state test. The wear scar area A in the reciprocating sliding test is measured by a three-dimensional profiler. The sliding test time in the reciprocating sliding test is t, where t is a constant value, and the reciprocating sliding stroke is L, where L is a constant value; according to the volume wear rate calculation formula , the non-steady-state damage amount w of the material under different rolling non-steady-state conditions 非稳态 and the steady-state damage amount w under steady-state conditions 稳态 can be obtained, so as to obtain the bearing non-steady-state damage influence factors under different non-steady-state conditions .

[0028] The above is the basic implementation mode of the present invention, and further improvements, perfection, and limitations can be made on this basis: for example, the bearing materials used in Step 2 include GCr15 and 40Cr15Mo2VN bearing materials.

[0029] The above is the basic implementation mode of the present invention, and further improvements, perfection and limitations can be made on this basis: for example, in the third step, the modification treatment of the bearing includes solid-liquid composite lubrication control technology and bearing surface modification technology, and the bearing surface modification technology includes surface induction hardening process and carbonitriding process treatment of the bearing material.

[0030] The above is the basic implementation mode of the present invention, and further improvements, perfection and limitations can be made on this basis: for example, in the third step, the solid-liquid composite lubrication control technology includes adding different proportions of graphite to the lubricating oil of the bearing material.

[0031] During actual tests, the non-steady-state damage influence factor is calculated in this embodiment The steps are as follows. According to the equal Hertz contact stress design principle, the test load F under the reciprocating sliding test conditions is obtained from the load in the rolling non-steady-state test. The sliding speed v in the reciprocating sliding test is the linear speed difference between the driving wheel and the steel ball in the rolling non-steady-state test. The wear scar area A in the reciprocating sliding test is measured by a three-dimensional profiler. The sliding test time t in the reciprocating sliding test is a fixed value, and the reciprocating sliding stroke L is a fixed value; according to the volume wear rate calculation formula , the non-steady-state damage amount w of the material under different rolling non-steady-state conditions can be obtained 非稳态 and the steady-state damage amount w under steady-state conditions 稳态 , so as to obtain the bearing non-steady-state damage influence factor under different non-steady-state conditions .

[0032] The following is the specific implementation process of the quantitative design test of the present invention.

[0033] Table 1 shows the non-steady-state damage influence factors of GCr15 bearing steel under different non-steady-state service conditions.

[0034] The non-steady-state service conditions include four conditions: loading, acceleration, unloading, and deceleration. In the loading test, the loading rates of No. 1-4 are the same, all 1 KN / min, so the single-cycle non-steady-state times are 60 s, 120 s, 180 s, and 360 s respectively. The loading rates of No. 5-6 are different, and the loading rates of No. 5 and 6 are 0.5 KN / min and 1.5 KN / min respectively. In the acceleration test, the acceleration rates of No. 7-9 are different, which are 60 rpm / s, 100 rpm / s, and 200 rpm / s respectively. In the unloading test, the unloading rates of No. 10 and No. 11 are the same, all 1 KN / min, so the single-cycle non-steady-state times are 240 s and 60 s respectively. The unloading rate of No. 12 is different, which is 0.5 KN / min. In the deceleration test, the deceleration rates of No. 13-15 are different, which are 60 rpm / s, 100 rpm / s, and 200 rpm / s respectively.

[0035] Table 1 Unsteady damage influence factors of GCr15 bearing steel under different unsteady service conditions.

[0036]

[0037] As can be seen from Table 1 above, the unsteady damage influence factors of the same bearing material under different service conditions are all different. And with the increase of the loading / unloading rate and the acceleration / deceleration rate,

[0038] the value gradually increases, the damage of the bearing material under unsteady service conditions intensifies, and the bearing life decreases.

[0039]

[0040] As can be seen from Table 2 above, the unsteady damage influence factors of the two bearing materials, GCr15 and 40Cr15Mo2VN, are also different. Compared with GCr15 steel, the unsteady damage influence factor

[0041] Table 2 Unsteady damage influence factors of different bearing materials under the same unsteady test conditions.

[0042] Under the same unsteady test conditions, different solid-liquid composite lubrication methods are used to improve the unsteady damage of GCr15 bearing steel, and its unsteady damage improvement rate is shown in Table 3. For No. 1, the solid-liquid composite lubrication method of adding 0.5 g / mL graphite to the lubricating oil is adopted. For No. 2, the solid-liquid composite lubrication method of adding 1.0 g / mL graphite to the lubricating oil is adopted. For No. 3, it is a control sample without adding graphite.

[0044]

[0045] As can be seen from Table 3, under the same unsteady test conditions, after adding graphite to the lubricating oil, the unsteady damage influence factors of GCr15 steel all decrease, and the improvement rate of the No. 1 sample is 15.9%, which is greater than that of the No. 2 sample, indicating that the improvement effect of the unsteady damage of GCr15 steel is more significant after adding 0.5 g / mL of graphite.

[0046] Table 4 shows the improvement rate of unsteady damage of bearing materials after surface induction hardening modification.

[0047] Under the same unsteady test conditions, different surface induction hardening processes were used to improve the unsteady damage of 40Cr15Mo2VN bearing steel, and the improvement rate of its unsteady damage is shown in Table 4. The induction hardening process of No. 1 is: frequency 12.3 kHz, power 57 kW, water-based cooling condition, and quenching time is 7 s (Process 1). The induction hardening process of No. 2 is: frequency 12.3 kHz, power 57 kW, water-based cooling condition, and quenching time is 8 s (Process 2). The induction hardening process of No. 3 is: frequency 12.3 kHz, power 57 kW, water-based cooling condition, and quenching time is 9 s (Process 3). No. 4 is the control group sample, using the full quenching process, that is: heating and holding at 1030 °C for 60 min and then oil quenching, (-196 °C × 1 h cryogenic treatment + 400 °C × 1 h tempering) × 2.

[0052] Under the same unsteady test conditions, different carbonitriding processes were used to improve the unsteady damage of GCr15 bearing steel, and the improvement rate of its unsteady damage is shown in Table 5.

[0053] The nitrocarburizing process of No. 1 is as follows: Nitrogen-methanol is used as the carrier gas, the nitrocarburizing temperature is 900 °C, the treatment time is 100 min, the quenching temperature is 860 °C, the holding time is 30 min, the carbon potential is controlled at 1.10% C, oil quenching, and tempering at 180 °C for 4 h (Process 1).

[0056] No. 4 is the control group sample, and the traditional quenching-tempering process is adopted, that is, the quenching temperature is 830 °C, oil quenching after holding for 35 min, and tempering at 150 °C for 4 h.

[0057] Table 5 Improvement rate of non-steady-state damage of bearing materials after nitrocarburizing modification

[0058]

[0059] As can be seen from Table 5, under the same non-steady-state test conditions, compared with the quenching-tempering samples, the non-steady-state damage influence factor value of GCr15 bearing steel after nitrocarburizing modification decreases, indicating that the performance of the modified GCr15 bearing steel has been improved. And the value of GCr15 bearing steel after nitrocarburizing (Process 2) is the smallest, and the value of nitrocarburizing (Process 1) is the largest. It shows that nitrocarburizing (Process 2) has a more excellent non-steady-state damage improvement rate , the improvement rate of nitrocarburizing (Process 3) is second, and the improvement rate of nitrocarburizing (Process 1) is lower.
