Scope
GB/T 34891-2017 is the English-translated version of 滚动轴承 高碳铬轴承钢零件 热处理技术条件.
China's national standard for the heat treatment of rolling bearing parts made from high-carbon chromium bearing steel. It specifies the technical requirements and the test methods, with an informative annex on effective wall thickness of rings and effective diameter of rolling elements, and a normative annex on the steel ball crushing load test.
High-carbon chromium bearing steel - the family the world knows as 52100 or 100Cr6 - is one of the most specialised steels in ordinary use, made to a cleanness specification stricter than almost anything else, and its whole value is realised in the heat treatment.
The parts are austenitised, quenched to martensite and tempered at low temperature, and what comes out has to be hard enough to resist the rolling contact stresses, dimensionally stable enough not to move in service, and free of the retained austenite that would let it move later.
The standard governs those outcomes rather than the furnace recipe, because the same result is reached differently in different plants.

Rolling Bearings - Parts Made from High-carbon Chromium Bearing Steels - Specifications for Heat Treatment
1 Scope
China's national standard for the heat treatment of rolling bearing parts made from high-carbon chromium bearing steel. It specifies the technical requirements and the test methods, with an informative annex on effective wall thickness of rings and effective diameter of rolling elements, and a normative annex on the steel ball crushing load test. High-carbon chromium bearing steel - the family the world knows as 52100 or 100Cr6 - is one of the most specialised steels in ordinary use, made to a cleanness specification stricter than almost anything else, and its whole value is realised in the heat treatment. The parts are austenitised, quenched to martensite and tempered at low temperature, and what comes out has to be hard enough to resist the rolling contact stresses, dimensionally stable enough not to move in service, and free of the retained austenite that would let it move later. The standard governs those outcomes rather than the furnace recipe, because the same result is reached differently in different plants.
This Standard specifies the technical requirements and test methods for annealing, quenching and tempering of G8Cr15, GCr15, GCr15SiMn, GCr15SiMo, GCr18Mo steel rolling bearing rings and rolling elements (hereinafter referred to as bearing parts) in accordance with GB/T 18254. This Standard is applicable to the heat treatment quality inspection of the above-mentioned steel bearing parts process and finished parts, and also to the heat treatment quality inspection of other high-carbon chromium steel bearing parts. For bearing parts with special requirements, perform according to the specifications of corresponding product drawings.
