BEARING MANUFACTURING

From Raw Material to Final Delivery

Bearing manufacturing covers material forming, heat treatment, precision machining, cleaning, protection and final assembly. Each stage contributes to the microstructure, dimensions and final quality of the bearing.

Typical Manufacturing Process:

  • Material and Forging

  • Turning and Forming

  • Heat Treatment

  • Grinding and Superfinishing

  • Cleaning and Rust Prevention

  • Assembly and Delivery

INDUSTRIAL FLUID APPLICATIONS

Where Industrial Fluids Matter

Bearing microstructure, dimensions, appearance and surface quality are shaped by heat treatment, precision machining and final protection.

  1. Carbonitriding

    Bearing ring material and effective wall thickness determine the required cooling profile. Controlled cooling supports the target microstructure and reduces deformation risk, particularly for thin-walled and complex rings.

  2. Induction Hardening

    Induction hardening of hub bearings and related components involves rapid heating and high-pressure spray conditions. Controlling foam, tramp oil and concentration changes helps maintain consistent cooling and stable production.

  3. Deformation and Appearance

    Cooling rate and uniformity affect bearing ring deformation and dimensional stability. Carbon deposits, oxides and tramp oil may lead to discoloration and surface residue.

  4. Grinding, Superfinishing, Cleaning and Rust Prevention

    Grinding and superfinishing establish the final accuracy and functional surfaces of bearings. Cleaning removes oil, particles and carbon residue, while rust prevention protects components during handling, packaging and storage.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION RESULTS

From Distortion Control to Appearance Improvement

Across bearing heat treatment, grinding, cleaning and protection, Kerun combines fluid matching with on-site validation to support microstructure, dimensional stability, surface quality and consistent delivery.

Typical Applications:

  • Carbonitrided Bearing Rings

  • Quenching of Thin-Walled, Medium and Large Bearings

  • Hub Bearings and Induction Hardening

  • Bearing Grinding and Superfinishing

  • Post-Heat-Treatment and Final Product Cleaning

  • Inter-Process Handling and Final Delivery

    Distortion Control of Carbonitrided 6308/01 Bearing Outer Rings

    After quenching with KR468G, the troostite level was below Grade 1, with 95% of samples maintaining ovality within 0.15 mm. KR498 achieved Grade 1, with all samples within the same limit. Both quenchants controlled outer-ring distortion while meeting microstructure requirements, supporting dimensional stability in downstream precision machining.

    Quenching Oil Purification and Appearance Improvement

    Carbon buildup, metal fines and other contaminants in quenching oil can affect bearing color and appearance consistency. Kerun combines KR-CW carbon remover with high-speed centrifugal purification to improve fluid condition.
