Rolling bearing component, and method for the production thereof
View Patent ↗Disclosed is a rolling bearing component comprising a metallic support with a spray-compacted metal layer which is applied to the metallic support in a spraying process and is provided with the running surface of the rolling bearing.
1. A method for producing a rolling bearing component, which comprises a metallic support, which is a spray-compacted component produced by a spraying process and a spray-compacted metal layer that is applied to the metallic support by the spraying process to form a running surface for the rolling bearing, the method comprising the following sequential steps:
spraying a metal, which forms the metal layer, onto a component holder so as to produce the metal layer by the spraying process; then
spraying a support metal onto the metal layer so as to produce the metallic support; and then
re-machining the metal layer, following a removal of the component holder, to form the running surface of the rolling bearing.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the support metal is sprayed onto metal layer, which is still warm.
