This invention provides a high-temperature
carburizing bearing steel and its preparation method, relating to the field of
aerospace bearing steel preparation technology. The method includes the following steps: preparing a steel
ingot with a composition meeting set requirements; subjecting the
ingot to anisotropic pre-straining and
solution treatment to eliminate high-temperature ferrite and coarse
carbide enrichment zones, thus obtaining a billet; and finally subjecting the billet to hot forming double-refining treatment to obtain the carburized bearing steel. This invention, by reducing the content of ferrite-forming elements and increasing the content of
austenite-forming elements, helps promote the transformation of high-temperature ferrite into
austenite during solidification, reducing solute segregation bands and brittle-inducing phases in the as-cast
microstructure. The anisotropic pre-straining and
solution treatment causes carbides to precipitate, consuming alloying elements in the high-temperature ferrite, and introduces high-density
crystal structure defects and increases recrystallization
grain boundary area, promoting the
dissolution and transformation of high-temperature ferrite, further improving compositional uniformity, thereby avoiding
brittle fracture problems caused by element segregation.
