Abstract: A bearing steel composition contains 0.1 to 0.2 wt % C, 3.25 to 4.25 wt % Cr, 9.5 to 11.5 wt % Mo, 5.75 to 6.75 wt % W, 1.5 to 2.5 wt % V, and 2.5 to 3.5 wt % Ni. A bearing component, such as a rolling element, an inner race or outer race, is formed from the bearing steel composition, for example, by a powder metallurgical technique and then is subjected to a case hardening treatment. The bearing component may have a microstructure composed of martensite, retained austenite and at least one of carbides and/or carbonitrides. The carbon level at the surface of the bearing component may be 0.5 to 1.1 wt %.
