Abstract

Martensitic high-carbon high-strength SUJ2 bearing steel has been widely used as a main alloy for rolling contact applications, and also in components under bending and tension-compression. In order to enhance the material’s strength, refining the prior austenite grain size through repeated-heating was investigated in our previous work. In this work, we observed the microstructure of twice quenched N-rich SUJ2 steel and performed their rotating bending fatigue tests. It was found that most of cracks on the fracture surface originated from Al2O3 inclusions.
