Abstract
There is provided a carburized bearing that is excellent in rolling contact fatigue life with a change in structure under a hydrogen-generating environment. In the carburized bearing, a chemical composition of a core portion consists of, in mass %, C: 0.25 to 0.45%, Si: 0.10 to 0.50 %, Mn: 0.40 to 0.70 %, P: 0.015% or less, S: 0.005% or less, Cr: 0.80 to 1.50%, Mo: 0.17 to 0.30%, V: 0.24 to 0.40%. Al: 0.005 to 0.100%, N: 0.0300% or less, O: 0.0015% or less, and the balance being Fe and impurities, and satisfies Formula (1) to Formula (4) described in the present specification. A proportion of a total area of CaO—CaS—MgO—AlOcomposite oxides with respect to a total area of oxides in the carburized leaping is 30.0% or more, and a number density of oxides having an equivalent circle diameter of 20.0 μm or more is 15.0 pieces/mmor less.
