JB/T 8881-2020 Rolling bearings - Parts made from carburizing bearing steels - Specifications for heat treatment
1 Scope
This standard specifies the technical requirements and inspection methods for the rolling bearing parts made from carburizing bearing steels such as G15CrMo, G20CrMo, G20CrNiMo, G20CrNi2Mo, G20Cr2Ni4, G10CrNi3Mo, G20Cr2Mn2Mo, and G23Cr2Ni2Si1Mo that conform to the requirements of GB/T 3203-2016 and GB/T 33161-2016 after undergoing pre-carburization conditioning treatment, and post-carburization primary quenching and tempering + high-temperature tempering, secondary quenching and tempering, and bainite isothermal quenching.
This standard applies to the carburizing heat treatment quality inspection of the above-mentioned rolling bearing parts made from carburizing bearing steels (hereinafter referred to as “bearing parts”) as well as those made from low-carbon alloy steels.
