AB  - Comparing with one directional magnetic treatment, a multidirectional magnetic treatment is applied to reduce residual stress in thin-walled bearing rings in order to improve the dimensional stability of bearing rings. The magnetic field was applied in both the axial and the radial directions of the thin walled bearing rings respectively. Six months of repeated testing results demonstrated that the dimension of bearing rings after magnetic treatment had no significant change. Experimental results shows both the major axis(the longer axis of an ellipse)and the minor axis(the shorter axis of an ellipse)appear shorten tendency and the dimension of bearing rings tends to be stable. Thin-walled uniform radial pressure deformation formulas are applied to calculate the reduced stress, and the maximum reduction is up to 45.97MPa. Research shows the multi-directional magnetic treatment can improve the dimensional stability of bearing rings and used in practical engineering.
