Hot-pressed silicon nitride was evaluated as a rolling-element bearing material. This material has a low specific gravity (41 percent that of bearing steel) and has a potential application as low mass balls for very high-speed ball bearings. The five-ball fatigue tester was used to test 12.7-mm- (0.500-in-) dia silicon nitride balls at maximum Hertz stresses ranging from 4.27 × 109 N/m2 (620,000 psi) to 6.21 × 109 N/m2 (900,000 psi) at a race temperature of 328K (130 deg F). The fatigue life of NC-132 hot-pressed silicon nitride was found to be equal to typical bearing steels and much greater than other ceramic or cermet materials at the same stress levels. A digital computer program was used to predict the fatigue life of 120-mm- bore angular-contact ball bearings containing either steel or silicon nitride balls. The analysis indicates that there is no improvement in the lives of bearings of the same geometry operating at DN values from 2 to 4 million where silicon nitride balls are used in place of steel balls.

The rolling-element fatigue lives of AMS 5749 and AISI M-50 were compared in tests run in the five-ball fatigue tester and the rolling-contact (RC) fatigue tester. The effects of double vacuum melting and retained austenite on the life of AMS 5749 were determined in five-ball fatigue tests. The double vacuum melting process consisted of induction vacuum melting followed by vacuum arc remelting (VIM-VAR). In the five-ball tests, VIM-VAR AMS 5749 gave lives at least six times that of VIM-VAR AISI M-50. Similar tests in the rolling-contact (RC) fatigue tester showed no significant difference in the lives of the two materials. The rolling-element fatigue life of VIM-VAR AMS 5749 was at least 14 times that of vacuum induction melted AMS 5749. A trend toward increased rolling-element fatigue life with decreased retained austenite is apparent, but the confidence that the all experimental differences are significant is not great. The highest level of retained austenite, 14.6 percent, is, however, significantly detrimental to rolling-element fatigue life, relative to the intermediate level of 11.1 percent.
