[0011] Beneficial effects Compared with the prior art, the present invention has significant advantages and beneficial effects, achieving considerable technological progress and practicality, and possessing broad application value. It has at least the following advantages: 1. Comprehensive performance advantages of this invention: By combining carburizing treatment with subsequent selective removal of the carburized layer, a reasonable match is achieved between the high hardness (≥58HRC) of the raceway surface and the medium-low hardness (35~45HRC) of other surfaces. This hardness gradient distribution ensures both the high wear resistance and fatigue resistance of the raceway and maintains good toughness and impact resistance in parts such as the rod end and ball head, meeting the load-bearing and self-aligning requirements of the spherical rod end self-aligning bearing under complex working conditions.

[0012] 2. Advantages of the present invention in terms of processing datum uniformity: By setting process auxiliary bosses on both end faces as a unified processing datum, the problem of spherical shapes not being able to be directly used as positioning datums is solved. All processes from roughing to finishing, grinding, polishing, etc., use the process bosses as the datum, reducing the number of datum conversions, improving processing accuracy and dimensional consistency, and avoiding cumulative errors caused by inconsistent datums.

[0013] 3. Advantages of the invention's process rationality: The process arrangement is compact and reasonable, with a clear logical route of rough machining → carburizing → carburized layer removal → heat treatment → finish machining → grinding → polishing. The carburizing treatment is arranged after the rough machining of the raceway, ensuring both the uniformity of the carburized layer depth and facilitating the selective removal of carburized layers from designated areas. The heat treatment is arranged after the carburized layer removal, allowing for precise control of the hardness distribution in different areas. The cyclical arrangement of rough grinding → flaw detection → pickling → stabilization treatment → fine grinding → flaw detection → pickling → polishing ensures a progressive improvement in the surface quality of the raceway.

[0014] 4. Production efficiency advantages of this invention: By unifying the datum through process-assisted bosses, the number of workpiece clamping operations and datum conversion time are reduced. Selective removal of the carburized layer utilizes efficient machining methods such as turning and milling, resulting in higher production efficiency and lower costs compared to traditional overall quenching followed by local annealing or local induction hardening processes. The reasonable arrangement of quality inspection processes such as flaw detection, pickling, and stabilization treatment ensures quality while avoiding excessive inspection that could extend the production cycle.

[0015] 5. Advantages of the scope of application of this invention: This process is applicable to the machining of the outer ring of self-aligning bearings with spherical rod ends made of carburized steel, and can meet the manufacturing needs of bearings with different specifications and working conditions. The process solution has versatility and scalability, and parameters such as carburizing depth and hardness requirements can be adjusted according to specific product requirements, making it highly adaptable.
