Once hot forgings for automotive parts such as wheel bearing flange to which cyclic asymmetric bending stress is continuously applied are produced, it is necessary to control their microstructure to obtain superior mechanical properties. It is however hard to control the microstructure uniformly because the strength is reduced as coarsening of ferrite grains. To investigate the microstructural alteration according to process variables during hot working, the variation of the ferrite grain size was studied by utilizing of the computer aided servo-hydraulic Gleeble tester which is hot deformation behavior reproduction equipment. In addition, the effect of the ferrite grain size of raw material on the austenite grain behavior of hot forgings was also examined. The rolling contact fatigue resistance of the induction hardened SAE 1055 steel was compared with the occasion of the same condition of SAE52100 bearing steel. As a result, it was confirmed that the ferrite grain sizes of the forgings depend on the heating temperature and cooling start temperature during hot forging and cooling processes. The induction hardened SAE1055 steel showed a superior rolling contact fatigue resistance to the induction hardened SAE52100 steel. The reason is that SAE1055 steel is freer from the material defect such as segregation than the comparative steel.

본 논문에서는 고주파 열처리된 SAE1055 베어링강의 경도에 따른 피로 거동 및 이의 확률론적 평가를 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 경도 수준에 따른 5 종류의 시험편(A : 원재료, B : HV390-전경화, C : HV510-전경화, D : HV700-전경화 및 E : HV-700 표면경화)를 준비하였다. 피로시험은 4 점 회전굽힘 피로시험기를 이용하여 응력비 R=-1 의 조건하에서 수행하였다. 그 결과, SAE1055 강의 피로 거동은 경도에 따라 크게 변화하였으나 HV510 수준이상에서는 피로한도의 증가는 관찰되지 않았다. 또한 피로 파손기구에 대한 경도의 영향을 평가하기 위하여 SEM(scanning electron microscope)을 이용한 파면 관찰을 수행하였다. 피로수명의 통계적 특성은 P-S-N(probabilistic S-N) 곡선을 이용하여 평가되었으며 이에 대한 경도의 영향은 잔류치 해석(residue analysis)을 통하여 수행하였다.
