Abstract
The structure of the uppermost surface layer for commercial bearings w ith poor grinding procedures has been studied by means of transmission electron microscopy, electron probe X-ray microanalysis and Auger ele ctron spectroscopy methods. It was found that a new etching-resistant phase with a comet shape appeared, which was identified by structure a nalysis as being (Cr, Fe)7C3 carbides. We supposed the formation of th e new etching-resistant phase was due to the grinding beat and grindin g force.
