Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for heat-treating a ring-shaped member includes the steps of: forming, by relatively rotating an coil along the circumferential direction of the formed body, an annular heated region in the formed body, the heated region having the steel austenitized therein; and simultaneously cooling a whole of the heated region to a temperature of not more than an M s point. In the step of forming the heated region, the heating is performed to repeatedly change over for a plurality of times between a state in which each region of the rolling contact surface has a temperature exceeding a temperature of an A 1 point and a state in which each region of the rolling contact surface has a temperature that is less than the temperature of the A 1 point and that maintains a supercooled austenite state.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for heat-treating a ring-shaped member comprising the steps of: forming, by relatively rotating an induction heating member arranged to face part of a circumferential surface of a ring-shaped member made of steel for induction-heating said ring-shaped member along the circumferential direction of said ring-shaped member, an annular heated region in said ring-shaped member, said heated region having said steel austenitized therein; and simult…
