ABSTRACT:
A bearing for alternators and a bearing for pulleys for reducing hydrogen embrittlement or cracking is used when the bearing is in an environment having a severe condition, such as, when hydrogen is generated from grease or the like. The bearing includes a rolling element, an inner ring and an outer ring, and at least one of the rolling element, where the inner and outer rings have a nitrogen enriched layer containing austenite crystal grains having a grain size number exceeding 10.
