Abstract
High-carbon high-strength JIS-SUJ2 bearing steel is an alloy having the characteristics of high wear resistance and fatigue strength as a result of quenching. When this kind of high-strength material is exposed to long-lasting low stress application loadings, fisheye fractures can often be seen. In this research, we measured the retained austenite near the fracture surface in JIS-SUJ2. After the measurement, we confirmed the decrease of the retained austenite in the vertical surface under both fisheye fracture and ductile fracture.
