An investigation into the mechanisms of cone bore growth in railroad bearings

The mechanisms of cone bore growth in railroad bearings have been investigated. Systematic studies of (1) stress-induced transformation of retained austenite to martensite, (2) thermal-induced transformation of retained austenite to bainite, and (3) low temperature creep have been conducted. Both carburized and uncarburized 4320 steels were tested. The retained austenite contents (A$\sb{\rm ret}$) of the two carburized steels were 35% and 14%.
