Abstract: To predict the effect of the hard turninginduced residual stress on the rolling fatigue life of bearing steel, 2D rolling contact fatigue life model characteristic with plane strain was developed based on MARC. The residual stress on the machined surface and subsurface from the hard turning bearing steel was applied to surface and subsurface of 2D model correspondingly. The rolling contact stress distribution was simulated under the typical services, and the rolling fatigue life of contact interface was predicted by Miner law based on the SN life theory under compressive stress. After the analysis of rolling fatigue life under different conditions, the effect of different friction, rolling velocity, load on fatigue life with hard turninginduced residual stress was quantitatively investigated. The investigation shows that the hard turninginduced compressive residual stress increases 10%—30% the rolling fatigue life of bearing steel, and the load has the greatest effect on rolling fatigue life while the fiction coefficient has the minimal effect.
