ABSTRACT:
A rolling bearing comprises an outer ring, an inner ring and rolling elements rotatably disposed between the outer and inner rings. At least a member selected from the outer ring, inner ring and rolling elements has C content of 0.2 or more and 0.6 or less wt %, Cr content of 2.5 or more and 7.0 or less wt %, Mn content of 0.5 or more and 2.0 or less wt %, Si content of 0.1 wt % or more and 1.5 or less wt %, and Mo content of 0.5 or more and 3.0 or less wt %. Further, a carburizing or carbo-nitriding treatment, a quenching treatment and a tempering treatment are applied to the selected member. Furthermore, retained austenite on a surface thereof is 15% or more and 45% or less vol. %, and the surface hardness thereof is HRC60 or more.
