Abstract:
An outer ring, an inner ring and a ball serving as mechanical components configuring a deep groove ball bearing are formed of steel containing at least 0.11 mass % and not more than 0.15 mass % of carbon, at least 0.1 mass % and not more than 0.25 mass % of silicon, at least 0.15 mass % and not more than 0.35 mass % of manganese, at least 3.2 mass % and not more than 3.6 mass % of nickel, at least 4 mass % and not more than 4.25 mass % of chromium, at least 4 mass % and not more than 4.5 mass % of molybdenum and at least 1.13 mass % and not more than 1.33 mass % of vanadium with a remainder consisting of iron and impurity, and have raceway/rolling contact surfaces, the surface being included in a region having a nitrogen enriched layer having a nitrogen concentration of at least 0.05 mass %, the nitrogen enriched layer having a carbon concentration and the nitrogen concentration, in total, of at least 0.55 mass % and not more than 1.9 mass % at a depth of 0.1 mm from the surface.
