Abstract: The composition of a bearing steel was designed for limited hardenability by use of Grossmann's method. A medium frequency induction Process was applied to heat bearings to ensure penetrant heating and suitable solving of carbon and other elements in the matrix. The hardened depth measured from the end quenching test samples and actual bearings matches well with the designed one.

Key words: bearing steel, limited hardenability, composition design
