Thin-walled bearing component, produced without material-removing machining

摘要

A thin-walled stainless bearing component, in particular a rolling bearing component, such as bearing ring, sleeve or bush, produced without material-removing machining by being deep-drawn from a cold-rolled strip with a carbon content of 0.15-0.25% and a chromium alloying content of at least 12%, and having a martensitic microstructure which is enriched with dissolved nitrogen at least at a side edge zone.
