Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007137557A2] The invention relates to a method for hardening running surfaces (3) of roller bearing components (2), in particular external bearing rings. In order to provide the edge area (functional layer) of the roller bearing components with a deep layer which is particularly hard and resistant to corrosion, the roller bearing component (2) undergoes nitration for a long period of time at a temperature of between 450 and 650 °C and for at least 25 hours. During said treatment no carburizing and/or subsequently hardening takes place.
