| 摘要: | 为探究超声表面滚压工艺（Ultrasonic Surface Rolling Process，USRP）对马氏体轴承钢表面完整性及滚动接触疲劳性能的影响，通过滚动接触疲劳实验，结合表面形貌、残余应力、显微硬度测试及微观结构观察，对比分析常规与USRP处理试样的性能差异。结果表明，USRP可显著降低材料表面粗糙度，细化表层晶粒，并诱导形成高幅值残余压应力与硬化层，从而有效抑制表面疲劳裂纹萌生与扩展，大幅提升滚动接触疲劳寿命。微观分析显示，常规试样的疲劳裂纹易在表面萌生、扩展并导致剥落，而USRP试样的失效模式转变为亚表层萌生主导。结果表明，USRP工艺通过改善表面完整性，将疲劳薄弱区从表面转移至亚表层，显著提升材料的滚动接触疲劳抗力，为高可靠轴承部件的表面强化提供了有效技术途径。 |
| Abstract: | This study aims to investigate the effect of Ultrasonic Surface Rolling Process (USRP) on the surface integrity and rolling contact fatigue performance of martensitic bearing steel. Rolling contact fatigue tests were conducted, and the performance differences between conventional (BM) specimens and USRP-treated specimens were compared and analyzed through surface morphology measurements, residual stress and microhardness tests, as well as microstructural observations. The results show that USRP treatment significantly reduces surface roughness, refines surface grains, and induces high magnitude compressive residual stresses along with a hardened layer, thereby effectively suppressing the initiation and propagation of surface fatigue cracks and leading to a remarkable improvement in rolling contact fatigue life. Microstructural analysis reveals that fatigue cracks in conventional specimens tend to initiate at the surface and propagate inward, ultimately resulting in spalling failure. In contrast, USRP-treated specimens exhibit a transition in failure mode, with crack initiation predominantly occurring in the subsurface region. The findings indicate that the USRP process comprehensively enhances surface integrity, shifts the fatigue-weak zone from surface to subsurface, and significantly improves the material’s resistance to rolling contact fatigue, providing an effective approach for surface strengthening of highly-reliable bearing components. |
